Well a station on that flop will probably call with like Tx, straight draws, flush draws, 88/99. If we bet, we're never folding out better. There's definitely something to be said for building the pot, but I think you should have some fold equity while you do that. Also, you should know that you're going to get paid off if you hit when you build a pot.
Looking at that range, its hard for many of those hands to give you multiple streets of value because they're weak to begin with and the board run out will make them even weaker.
