deep and OOP against a guy with a nitty image, a lot of reasonable villains, even LAGs, will go into check-call mode with non-nut boats here. (i was thinking this before i got to the results btw)
but i don't hate this. it's better against a more straightforward player or if you have a blocker, but it puts a lot of pressure even on hands like 55 or 65. i agree with whoever said you should bet whatever you would want to bet with top boat on turn/river though.
a snap-call on the turn should tell you that he at least has a boat redraw or a small boat though - that this card improved him or that he has a good chance to improve. most villains would think a bit more with a naked straight, or straight + FD since they know they can't beat a nit's value range no matter what comes on the river, and will have to call again.
