c/c is okay, but I far prefer a check/shove on the turn. We fold out worse as well as denying odds for worse hands. The majority of hands we beat at that point are draws, or hands that won't put in more than one bet, so there is no point trying to get 3 bets in, which makes b-c-b a good line, but once villain bets, we are facing mostly a K with a better kicker, a draw, or occasionally a weaker pair/floats that won't pay us off to begin with and will take showdown on river.
For the first category, we get folds sometimes, and if not, well, we have a tough river decision to begin with if we bet, c/c, check face a bet. For the second, we want to raise to charge the draws. As I explained, we rarely get more value from weaker made hands/floats that have not improved anyway.
As such, I got for b-c-b, check shoving or commit-raising the turn if villain bets.
