c/r is godawful on this flop, especially considering stack sizes/pf action
from what i see, so many people here overuse the c/r when a lead is way better in a lot of situations

Look, I admit that the check was not great, but to say C/R is godawful is a bit much. I mean, the pot was heads-up. Must I fear a flush draw every time two of a suit comes on a flop? Yes, there are potential draws out there, but IF if am certain (I know you can never be totally sure) that if I check, villain will bet, then what would be so bad with putting him all in with a C/R to make him pay for his draw? If he's ahead (as was the case here), then the point is moot either way. If he's behind, I'm getting all my money in with the best hand.
This is all predicated on his likelihood of betting if I check. If I could be sure of a bet, a C/R all-in seems perfectly fine to me. What's wrong with getting as much money in as possible with the best hand?
Again, I would never check here in a multi-way pot.
