Default How Bad Is This Play?

I think this hand is one example of many things I may do wrong at times. I can't seem to find a way to play these types of hands profitably, so I end up trying to just force my opponent out of the pot and if not successful, checking for Lady Luck at my side.

When I have position, I like to raise on the flop and then check behind on the turn if I catch a blank. Out of position though I feel I rely too much on shoving my stack and hoping that between folding equity and my outs, I'm keeping a +EV. I understand any set, two pair, or even A-K makes me a big dog and all of which except maybe A-K would easily call. Is there a better way to play this than spray n pray? Also, how weak of a hand would you call my bet if you were the villain?
