Default Should I have raised? #3

I've been getting way timid lately due to some very lackluster ROI recently, and maybe I'm overcompensating. Counting my outs, you tell me. I also figured there was a chance I would steal the pot outright, but I figured I had a timid bettor just making a continuation bet on the turn automatically, and that I had what was probably the best flush draw and best straight draw, and an overcard -- somehow I didn't trust the ace, because, an ace would have raised preflop or bet the flop bigger. For me, betting on a draw is incredibly rare, so this was an extraordinary hand for me.

Anyway, enough explanation -- here comes the craziness. Tell me what you think about it.

The blinds/pot are way too high for you to be waiting until the turn to bluff. Aside from pushing PF, push the flop if you're desperate for the chips.

So my 1) probably best flush draw, 2) straight draw, and 3) chance of making someone fold his hand outright were that far off base?

This is a very rare move for me, especially heads up. But my desire to put more aggression in my game is making me experiment around and go a little wild I guess. I was just wondering if this was totally nuts.
