Newish table, don't recognise villain which can only be a good thing. Flop I felt c/c was best and evaluate on the turn with my backdoor draws

So basically asking, do you think this is too thin?

i think turn is bad vs villain if villain is capable of hand reading or plays really nitty post flop.

Vs randoms in the big 55, probably is better than flatting (going to be close).

While we do have less than a psb otr, I think that instead of jamming we should just value bet like 2166 as it looks more like we are bluffing, gives them a better price, and is less likely to scare them off of hands like A6, 77+, 107+.

they are terrible on the turn as well and are not b/f pairs vs that sizing.
we want to play for stacks so why c/c?
call down > c/r jam river with reads vs some random internet kid who clicks buttons.

Well I didn't get called. I don't take this line vs decent regs very often.
