This is actually a pretty advanced and hard question imo.
It depends a lot on how BTN is playing and what kind of range we're looking at.
We should have both a range and nut advantage on this flop.
So we want to be betting a lot.
If we're using a small (25% pot) and large (75% pot) bet sizing, solver likes to bet 75% of the time and check 25% of the time.
For simplicity I went with 1 bet size (40% pot) which leads to us betting 64% of the time.
This is what our range looks like in my sim, which is just an estimation of how I see the average BTN caller.
Blue is bet, green is check:
If we check and BTN bets, here's our reaction:
Blue is raise, green is call, red is fold
Now this is pure GTO, so it doesn't account for any weaknesses you've spotted in your opponents or general player pool.
Against bad players you most likely want to be value betting more often and bluffing less often.
Against very aggressive players you want to check more strong hands.
Against people who fold too much you want to be betting more hands.
...
This is something you learn from playing a lot and analyzing lots of hands.
It's very hard. No one at low/mid stakes is good at this.
