Why is Flop a standard c/r for you?

I don't think this is a good spot to c/r and I would almost always c/c this

1. Building the pot w 3rd nut flush draw is less than ideal. QX or JX is better so you can cooler some lower flush if both of you hit. If you hit on the turn you can play more passively especially against large pot bets and save yourself money if he has a stronger hand
2. I prefer having more equity (by having a pair as well, or a straight draw)
3. you rep narrow on this AKX board.

The reason is kind of standard for me here is that xe comes from BU, and on this type of board they usually CB close to 100% of the time.
With them having air most of the time and not paying too much attention to what I can represent I usually manage to fold out most hands pretty easily.

But I guess your reasons are better.

if they are folding a lot then raising would be better.

but I think you get played back at a lot here. and if he doesn't 2barrel a lot you can always bluff the River
