Hero with T♥9♥ on 8♥7♠2♣

Your move:
The math
Correct: Raise to 10bb
Open-ended straight draw plus backdoor flush draw plus a gutshot to the nut straight if a J comes. Around 15 outs of equity against villain's c-bet range, plus huge fold equity against unimproved overcards. Check-raising turns the hand into a semi-bluff that prints money. Calling is passive and lets villain barrel turns where you whiff.
