Opponent seemed a little on the loose side, not great but not awful. .just one of those average players.

You're usually SOL when posting hands like these as they weigh heavily on your read on Villain. Obviously you have a much better read than we have, so it's hard to give advice on making a certain call.

Anyway, I fold this. It's too much money for me to invest with 2PWK, especially when the flush just got there. It looks as if he took the free card on the turn and hit.
