Alot of draws out there but the best you can do is to c-bet 1/3 of pot and see BBs reaction. Youre in the driving seat and use it to your advantage. If you do not bet the risk is you will face a bet on the turn and maybe folding the best hand. Remember, this board is scary to BB too.

I vote for c-bet. BB has a ton of draws here and you have to charge them.

Here you need to check. You have showdown value and draws/Tx will continue, these hit their flatting ranges very heavily. Try to realize your showdown value/improve your hand. Their range is wide even if they do call, you can't tell if it's Tx or a draw. Don't make this too complicated for yourself, you have second pair.
