Why do you bet the flop, and turn it into a bluff? It's hard to get called by worse, so I'd check here.
And the board favours him, so you should be checking a lot anyway.

As played, bluffing is probably good.

On the flop i thought about check calling but he seemed to a loose calling range so i didn't want his overcards to see turn and river for at most one stab if he bets flop gives up. Against a tighter player i would be checking a lot more. I also raise all my sets on this board UTG might be little 2 loose but i'm not completely vulnerable on this board. Also betting gives me more options on turns like these and helps my board coverage for betting the flop. Once i bet the flop turn bet seems standard or no?

bet/fold. your hand plays poorly as c/c here, I don't know as a x/r and since you block 98, I think his most likely hand is TT here and probably he won't fold. If you don't bluff expecting to get called often on this spot, you aren't bluffing enough :D

If i have this hand in my flop+turn betting range i guess it'd be for board protection.  it seems good to be able to have a straight when a 5 or 7 hits, but it seems like it's not even really worth it unless villain is going to reward you for it.  +1 Chael that we should start by checking flop a lot on this texture.

That being said you have a hand with some SD value and boat blockers, and i expect his river betting range to be pretty capped to begin with so i think CR is fun

I'm not saying about the whole hand but only for the river spot. I think bottom of his floating range would be some Th9h and I rather bet than check this flop because all his floating range actually have the same value against our hand (or very close, at least), 2 overs + bdfd or gutter/bdsd. I would bet flop for protection and may x/c turn, where we have a couple of outs against an ace and x/f-x/r on some rivers (I may x/r the 6 since it hits more our range than his, and OTT we may let him bet his ace hands for value) . in the way the hand was constructed I think bet/fold OTR is better but it is thin I guess.
