Looks pretty standard. You could raise the flop or the turn, but I think you are best calling. Big draws generally perform better when you either get a lot of money in the pot on the flop or you see the turn card cheaply. If you get allin on the flop you simply trap in your equity from the draw when it is at its highest, and if you see later streets cheaply you can take advantage of pot odds and implied odds. Contrast that to getting a fair amount in on the flop, where your opponent can fold to a scare card on the turn or make you pay the full pot size on a blank.
Counter-intuitively, it is actually possible for a draw which is a favourite on the flop to be correct in folding if the draw is relatively transparent.
