Start by betting. From there, depends on a read. I might very well just go pedal to the metal against an unknown.

Either bet the flop or checkraise. Get 4 bets in on the flop if possible. Deception is not necessary in this spot.

You can't get chips in the pot without putting chips in the pot. You also can't trick him into calling down with nothing. Start off like everyone does with a pair or a big diamond: CR and see if he wants to put up a fight. If he's got nothing you're probably not getting more than 1SB out of him anyways.
