I still think you have to bet this flop.

Yes.

So I think your only mistake was the bet size. Against CO's stack size you have to overbet the pot - I'd make it 4,5k.

Personally I think betting t4,500 is terrible. Pricing yourself into calling a shove is such bad reasoning.

The reason for betting t2,000 (or close to that) is that you can then bet this amount in the same situation with: a set, top pair, etc etc. You wouldn't bet t4,500 in those situations so why do so now.

Under your reasoning you might as well just shove the flop for t40,000 when checked to. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that that is terrible too.
