Question about my cbetting range here. It’s pretty generic and assumes we are vs unknowns – it’s a spot that I don’t feel very sure about and I tend to just do whatever I feel like doing at the time so I’m trying to come up with a solid gameplan. I feel like adjusting will be the easy part but having a good starting point is where I’m struggling atm.

Let's say I’m opening UTG with this range: {66+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, T9s, 98s, AJo+, KQo}
On this flop texture I’m obviously cbetting with these hands: {JJ+, TdTh, TdTs, ThTs, 6d6h, 6d6c, 6h6c, AdTd, AhTh, AsTs, KdTd, KhTh, KsTs, QdTd, QhTh, QsTs, JdTd, JhTh, JsTs} since they are most likely the best hand.
I’m also most likely cbetting with {AcKc, AcQc, KcQc, AcJc, KcJc, QcJc, 9c8c} since they have good equity. I can barrel when I hit my flush, a pair or when an overcard hits but I will probably check/fold if I don’t improve to any equity on the turn.
However, I’m not 100% sure what to do with the rest of my range, so…
1. What would you do with BDFDs such as A♣ K♥, or Q♠ J♠ ? On the one hand we have barrel potential with these hands, but on the other hand we are OOP and we will often miss the turn completely and end up playing the one-and-done game.
2. What would you do with 77-99? We have a really mediocre hand with only 2 outs but villain can be floating here, so maybe we can cbet twice on overcard turns? Or maybe we should be check/folding this part of our range because there is next to no playability on future streets.
3. What would you do with hands like A♥ K♥ or A♦ K♥? They started off as nice hands pre, but we completely whiffed the flop and have 6 outs. Should we be cbetting these with the plan to barrel on overcard turns? If we cbet AK with no backdoors, then does that imply we should also cbet KQo and AJo as well for example?
