Hello,
I like your line choice. It looks pretty weak but actually I think this is the max ev line. The other option would be to raise the flop, which I don't like for a couple reasons: you fold out some hands that would pay you when you hit (weaker draws mostly) and once you raise, you have to check back the turn a high % of the time because you don't have enough fold equity to bluff on most turn cards.
I guess the actual second option to this passive line, is to raise the turn - which might actually be better, depending on how villain's leading range looks like.
