Villain is 55/19/1.8 over 53 hands. I made the 3-bet a little larger because I would be oop when he calls. How bout flop bet sizing and leading the flop? I think $2 will accomplish almost everything $3 will. Also, I'm not really sure what his range would be for continuing facing a 3-bet from the blinds, but given his stats I would assume it would be much too loose and thus exploitable with a c-bet. He also folds 75% of the time to a c-bet.
