Yes but certain factors diminish the threat of me paying off with my dominated hand. First of all I have blockers to those Secondly, he has to bink K or Q OTT. If he doesn't I will blow him out of the pot with a worse hand. And if he does bink - yes I'll pay off turn... but not river - so it's still not a tragedy.

Your implied odds when you draw out go down because if you hit running T-9 for a straight, that puts a four-card straight on the board. Your BDSD has the most value when there is a chance he will have two pair or a set when you make your straight.
I don't think that deep during the hand. Do you?

If you didn't have to show your hand, just claim that you had T9 and you were glad the heart didn't come. It's a completely believable story that shouldn't completely ruin a nit image.

Did this hand make you adjust your read on this opponent?

Yes, I do. Or, rather, I've done some pre-thinking on the idea before the hand. You get a better understanding of the importance of backdoor outs if you play some loose fixed-limit games.

How is our range likely percieved in the CO here by villain? Given his image..
And what is our range here?

if he is cbetting air, is he going to continue with king high because he can't put us on a hand?

if he calls the flop raise, we may as well shut it down anyway because he has a hand and we dont

if we did have something of value with good equity, we're not going down this route anyway to risk a flop 3bet or 3bet/jam by him when we are either forced to overplay our hand or throw it away

Why would you think I wasn't happy with my nit image getting ruined? Nit image is the worst image to have.

Not really. He played as I expected. A better question is will he see me differently after this and I think the answer is "F, yes".
