Thanks for all the replies! Results are I destroyed his pair of tens.

I posted this hand, because people at the table seemed impressed that I didn't fear a 9, but I figure I'm so far ahead of his range and that's almost as good a flop as I could hope for to get max value.

A big problem I have is not getting paid for my hands, which is why I didn't re-pop on the flop. Basically, I'm working on expanding and improving. Experience has shown I either scare everybody away or run into a monster, so why not get the most out of those who would otherwise fold? I had been playing aggressively but slowing down to serious resistance on the table, so I figured it was a good time to repeat that pattern. OOP obviously sucks, but I figured it was between betting and losing a customer, or checking and picking off a worse hand or bluff.
