Another example would be minopening the button 100% at 200NL because a lot of the players are playing too tight. At 2NL though we 4x the button with a tighter range because everyone is playing way too loose. If you do this in vice versa you will be cutting hugely into your winrate.

This is why your "vacuum" game sucks. You are doing something absolutely terrible versus almost any villain and will only be playing correctly versus a very small % of the population. Once you realize this and stop trying to do what seems "optimal" if our opponent were to play standard(not to say your standard strategy here is even near optimal versus standard play) you will print lots of monies.

edit: back to the hand in question. the only people folding with worst on this flop are weak tight players who are going to take free cards with any draws they might have(this is a disaster). checking is going to get us 2barreled off all the shit you want to check in this spot or like I said they'll take a free card. aggressive players basically play perfectly v us and weak players play perfectly v us. when people are playing perfectly v us we are lightning money on fire.

now you might say but we get to showdown with Tx/JJ/QQ. Okay you might but those hands would have called a bet and not bet at any point themselves anyway after the flop
ty, now unerstand what "vacuum game" means.

would this flop cbet range be better vs this type of villain in spots like this? should i add some more combos or should i take out some ?
A2s-A9s, AT+, 33,TT,AA,JJ-KK,KQ,KJ,QJ and all of FD's we have.
