Wrote that one too fast, let me clarify:
There are Vs who call loose, but then play carefully post. If you bet this flop, they'll fold a lot of Ax's. (I would fold most Ax's here, for instance. I'm in bad position against a tag pfr. I can win a little or lose a lot.)
There are also villains who think any piece and any draw is worth pursuing. Their 10s could now become trips. They could hit that gutshot. And there are Vs who will float between those stances, based on tilt factor and whether they think you've been raising too much.
In all cases, you're better off putting them to a decision on the flop. Your hand has big potential RIO problems. Don't try to extract lots of extra value with it. Give them a chance to make a mistake.
