Hero ???

If villain makes a bet here, we're at the commitment threshold and need a plan. Bet and fold to a raise? Check-call in an attempt to keep the pot small? How much of my stack should I be willing to put in here assuming a draw/overcard doesn't hit?

I like a bet of $9 planning to fold to a raise - I think check/call is gonna get expensive - decent chance he folds a draw to a good sized turn bet, and if he doesn't fold, you probably don't have the best hand.
