1/2 NL 7-handed table. Two hands ago, I stacked MP1( a bad loose donk) with flopped straight when he c/shove his whole stack($225) with his low kicker trips on the turn. Mp2 was another loose aggressive donk who made small raises too often preflop.
hero: $750
mp1($180)
mp2($700)
hero posted on BT, Mp1 limped, MP2 raised to $8, Mp3 called, hero picked up AhQc and 3 bet up to $36. Mp1 called, Mp2 called, Mp3 folded.
flop: Jd 4c 6c
MP1 checked, CO checked, hero bet $60, mp1 looked desperate and shoved, mp2 folded, Hero ?
Is this a good spot to c-bet ? Should i call his shove?

Usually check, sometimes bet.

Against loose post-flop players I cut down my c-bet % a lot and tend to do it when I can rep a broadway that connected.

Once you've established that you won't bet the flop every time you can shift gears again.

That said, your re-raise is repping enough strength that I like bet/fold a lot more.

 main purpose of the cbet is to induce folds when you miss the flop.
by definition, a loose donk is going to call bets thin, especially cbets.
so you should stop autocbetting vs loose donks, and only bet for value.
especially when you are up against 2 of them.
a bluff cbet is easier to detect live than online.
