it's become sort of relevant to this thread to not make assumptions that can be to your disadvantage.
for that reason i want to say that calling 3bets rare at 2/5 is false. in some games it is super true and i find im the only one ever 3-betting pre. in some games there are regular 3-bettors more like an online type of game (usually younger guys).
you probably know this, but i feel like there were times when i was new to the forums and i would see someone throw out an assertion like this and i would take it at face value which i think you'd agree is not what you want.
also, if you are flatting flop what is your plan if someone behind flats and another straight card comes on the board - are you giving up? if someone behind raises?
you say raise OTT - any turn card you are raising? this is assuming of course that the villain barrels the turn, which sometimes he will check, no?
