1) I think it’s important to be clear about your objectives. You are not trying to steal the blinds – that’s silly, as they are tiny. You are trying to play a good implied odds hand in a deceptive way and take lots of his chips. So your real objective here is to catch a lucky flop and get lots of money in.

2) Now that you caught a lucky flop you need to execute and get money in. You simply must bet. Checking here is horrible. I slightly overbet the pot, as I would with any “real” hand like TT I’d have raised preflop with on a drawish board.

3) I plan to bet pot on most turn cards, and check behind or check-call on scary cards like hearts, 6, 8, T. Probably check-fold a 9. I am willing to give this up to big pressure.

4) Your hand looks good, but roughly half the deck makes someone a possible better hand if you’re not beat now. So I’d prefer pot control if the board wasn’t so drawish but since it is I think you need to bet-call or bet-fold depending on read.
