I’m shoving here on the flop with top pair, because you have only 1.280 behind. This way you protect your hand against a flush draw and if you make a normal bet you’re committed and a shove looks also weaker I think.

Problem with check/raising is that you give villains the opportunity to get a free card and you don’t want that.

Cheers,
