I think it's clear that against unknown villain, all the money is going in on this flop given overcards and strong draw (we have more than 50% equity against an underpair). The issue is how to play. I felt that checking oop was ok, with the intention of either seeing a free card or checkraising AI if villain bets. After villain puts us allin I still believe we are right to call.
Any thoughts, peeps?

I usually just contibet this flop, as if I had a made hand. With a flush and straight draw on board you would bet your made hands strongly. Your line is kinda interesting, but I don't have the experience with those plays. I guess against the right opponent it should be a strong move.

Hi,

Shove postflop, you have a monster draw, not a made hand! Do not decrease the strength of your draw by checking and let a free (BLANK) card come off!

Against unknowns, play straightforward ABC ;)

I mean you can cBET $3 leaving $4 behind but you are OOP
