Pretty standard, what's most +EV call or shove? I don't think folding is ever an option here IMO.

I probably 3-bet preflop. Given his stats, CO calls that initial raise in position with a pretty wide range, and much of it can't stand a 3-bet behind him. Get it heads up with MP with initative, position, and dead money in the pot.

As for the flop, I'd just call. This is a really dry board, so you don't have to worry about pricing out draws or anything of that nature. You're WA/WB against MP here, and he probably folds most things that you're beating if you shove. Honestly, though, I think he folds most of the time here anyway.
