I'm unclear how we get value from combo draws in particular if we flat flop OOP. Letting him check back turn and river a straight for free is a disaster.
I'm also unsure how we avoid being bet off our equity if a straight-ish card comes and he jams 2pr and we incorrectly give him credit for a straight.
So as played it seems to me fold or jam on flop.

I agree with poster who said flop size was too big. When deep I want people to make easy calls with poor equity (particularly worse flushdraws), while simultaneously not giving them a juicy target to slam when they have the goods and I'm the one trying to suck out.
We can also find a lot of spots to value bet rivers with as weak as 2pr if we haven't slammed the pot so hard that we are forcing him to fold weak hands and raise strong.
If we were up against a shorter stack I like the bet to get him to commit now with worse draws, but the shorter stack in this hand appears to have already given up on the flop.
