Re: How do you play big hands out of position?
I think the hand is fine. You could take a different line on the turn, but it depends on the players in the pot with you. I'd only really change the river. I think this is a 1/2 pot bet scenario(you want to price in TP here if it's there). Considering your hand, position, and the board it's a good idea to take the lead here. Someone caught a piece of this or is going to draw, so it's fine to take control and lead out.
Sometimes, depending on the players, and how I've been playing the table, I'll check on the turn if I've got a strong hand AND two or more players in the pot, to feign weakness and hope they bet so I can raise and get more money in the pot. A lot of players don't like this line because they don't want to risk giving the free card, but it's a solid move if you have aggresive players in the hand with you.
