Make it 9bb pre.
Flop: x/c . Your hand isn't vulnerable and you don't want to build a pot.
Turn: x/f

Thanks for your reply, that does make sense. Wouldn't this strategy however, be very exploitable?

I know this is NL10 and most players won't be good enough, but double barrelling or triple barrelling after this check would make quite some sense - or am I unnecessarily complicating things?

I like the cbet personally without the backdoor flushdraw, not 3/4 tho, 1/2. As played turn fold, 8 is not a good card at all, not many bluffs at this point and we block lot of Kx floats

check call flop is ok but if you cbet it doesn't need tobe so big imo just around 30% pot or 5.5 bb ish.

don't worry about being exploitable. We are exploiting the population by folding here as they're under bluffing in many spots. We should probably be calling 2 streets depending on sizing with this hand but since you c-bet we x/f. We also block some combos that he can be bluffing with such as Kx gutshots making this hand easier to fold. I think the thing to keep in mind is this spot isn't going to be major +EV however it's played. and to make life easier, think a x/f is totally fine. Even if it isn't the correct play, it won't be a "huge leak" or anything in your game. So just keep it simple an don't put strain on yourself to think black/white in spots like this.
