Putting aside the mistake of showing results there are some interesting decisions on the flop. This is a fairly rare hand where you have flopped something great but you literally have no redraws whatsoever. What you have now is what you're going to show down. This is a very coordinated board so you know people will have draws. Thus you ask yourself "is there any way to protect my hand?" The answer is no - gutshots will be priced out no matter what and flush draws will be priced in no matter what, at least on the flop. Other strong high card draws will also stay in. Next, should I wait for the turn? Absolutely not since you don't want to give free cards or let someone else take over as the aggressor on the hand.

I think by far the best way to handle this hand is to take over immediately as the aggressor and bet/raise the flop. Turn and river are fine, bet out and call down if you get raised at any point by a scare card. Sadly you got two scare cards and one of them did indeed hit an opponent's draw. Oh well.
