I think the most important practical takeaway is, you don't have to automatically call with a draw. You're definitely not getting the price here. You only have three good outs to the straight (the :10s4:  is not amazing), and even the straight you get is not the nuts. 3 cards is 6% on each street.

Which also means that the only way this Flop call is defensible is if you're planning to bluff. So, yeah, if you float the flop then it is so that you can take the Pot on the Turn. So you should intend to bet, and you should bet pretty big, maybe 8BB, maybe even overbet.

... however, the Turn card is a really terrible card to bluff, so you could reconsider after seeing it.

In any case, I think folding the Flop is the best play anyway. I think it's like Fold Flop > call Flop with intention of barreling Turn (whether we do it on this turn card or not) >  Raise flop directly > Call Flop with intention to check Turn

The reason is just that this board with two suited broadways is super dangerous, I wouldn't want to fight over it with someone who's shown interest in the pot.
