100NL: Royal draw one flop... how do you play this?

Villian is 40/15/.92 over 69 hands. Views me as lag.

Anyone have a better line? Or is this standard?

I think a large turn bet here would be appropriate. You have 21 outs to top pair or better, so it is nearly a value bet even if called (mind you the single pair won't always win), and the added equity of him folding a better hand (a small pocket pair, a ten, etc.) would give the play positive expectation. Him merely calling on the flop seemed like weakness, and I would be inclined to make a play on the turn and try to grab this one up quick.

Sorry, my bad, there are only 18 outs to top pair or better. I forgot the straight draw is a gutshot.
