    If he was against thinking players 3bing the flop would be perfectly fine since basically hero and villain should never have a real hand on this flop.
    That said this is 2NL and your opponents aren't braindead and even if they were flop is still a call. It's really hard for villain to have a hand so unless he has some balls your flop 3b is a disaster.

    edit: sizing, yeah that's horrible too surprise no one else mentioned it, raising to something like 60c here is plenty for value/bluffs on a board like this. Once again though this is 2NL and when your going for value versus bad players you should probably be making is bigger but shouldn't you already know this...

    My "thinking player" is different than your "thinking player". I guess I should have specified that I meant a 2NL thinking player = someone that isn't good at hand reading but sees certain lines as scary and can fold.
