Probably a good laydown.
I know you like your half pot bet size, but on the flop, I personally would have bet $4 or more.
The fact that you were willing to pay $4 on that round of betting anyway (he raised you $2), I think I would have just come out and fired the bigger bet right off the bat. That might not have changed anything, but I've found that some good players will respond aggressively to weakness, and smaller bets could invite that kind of play. To be forced out of a pot with the winning hand is a catastrophe.
A re-raise on the flop would have been interesting... if he then re-raised you again, you probably can assume you are beaten. But if he just calls... well maybe his hand isn't that strong and you could bet again on the turn.
Anyway, in the end I think it was the right move to lay down the hand.
