I c-bet almost every time here. 1/2 pot does the trick. Don't get in the habit of c-betting full pot. You don't have to.

I have problems with continuation bets when the board is two-suited. I don't like to make pot sized continuation bets but if I make it smaller on a board like that I imagine that it is very transparent I don't have anything I want to protect against the flushdraw.

Good point. I'll vary my c-bet in this spot from 2/3 pot to pot size a lot of times (pot-size is more likely in a smaller pot or if I have more chips). Here a 3/4 pot continuation bet wouldn't be terrible. I don't think anyone but an EXTREMELY observant villain is going to notice though, and you don't run across too many of those in the 55s.

I think that there are alternatives to CB-ing the hell outta the flop. Waiting for the turn is often a good alternative against certain players on certain boards.

Whilst I agree with Indiana, I would CB this flop, definitely, for about half. If it was two suited, I would CB for two thirds. Because I would do this with AK as well.
