I'd would go with a standard 3 or 4 times the BB raise preflop with hands like that Komp - if you believe you have the best hand then you gotta make people pay to see more cards and get them to put their money in behind. By and large it won't scare them off and you will still get the action you want. That goes for the later streets as well...that flop is good for you but there are a lot of straight draws out there and in late position you can't really afford to give away a free card by checking - if people have yet to make their hands(like your opponent here) you have to make them pay before they do - again you could be suprised at how much people are willing to risk to hit their hands.

When you hit a nice flop with top pair nice kicker, trips or two pair or whatever, its tempting to slowplay(checking/calling) in order to let others catch up, but often they will either miss(and so you win a small pot) or hit a big hand themselves(and so you lose a big pot.) Sometimes there isn't a big pot to go with your strong hand and rather than trying too hard to engineer one its best to just take the small one and move on.

It's all neatly summarised by being aggressive - if you think you have the best hand then make people pay to see further cards and get them to put their money in behind.
