Default 54s - Big Draw vs Possible Stealer

Back in my Limit days, I would float a lot preflop with suited connectors like this. But in NL, should I be seeing a flop here with this hand against a possible stealer? Or do I just get myself in too much trouble?

Once I get to the flop, easy Checkraise All In, correct?

Tournament:
$2+0.25 Buy-in with Rebuys
Blinds t250/t500/t50
Currently 7-handed
Still far enough away from the money not to worry about it

Reads:
Only been at this table for a couple of orbits, table playing a little bit loose.
Villain - hasn't done anything out of the ordinary yet, seems straightforward

Stacks: (Average Stack approximately t18,000, I am in top 10 out of 90)
UTG (t26,415)
MP1 (t15,244)
MP2 (t27,423)
HJ (t31,814)
CO (t9,340)
Villain (t11,995)
Hero (t31,849)

(Note - there is no small blind in this hand)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villain raises to t1,500</font>, Hero calls t1,000

Flop: (t3,350) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#0000FF">Hero . . . ?</font>

I figure that regardless of whether he has a hand, or he is stealing, I can expect him to bet most of the time. On top of that, I can expect a bet that is sized such that my checkraise all in may put him to a very tough decision with sufficient fold equity, and I don't mind a call or a fold at that point. Am I thinking about this correctly?
