I can understand you wanting to slap his hand away as he tries to steal your blind (possibly). But this is a questionable call pf. The blinds aren't that much compared to your stack. Let him take your blinds and eventually you'll get it all back and then some when he tries to steal and you have a real hand.

Yeah, you got a piece of the flop, but you are on shaky ground at best. Too many st8 and flush possibilities. If you must play this, bet the flop. Your check is begging for him to keep stealing. You are not strong enough for a check/raise IMO. And at this point, he's pot committed and getting godd enough odds to draw for a st8 or a flush. He's getting nearly 5-1. He maybe could have gotten away from his hand if you bet the flop, but there is no way he's folding now. Even with 2 overcards, he has 6 outs and odds to call.
I give you credit for making a read on this guy and trying to bust him out. I like the aggression. But if he had the kind of hand you thought, why would you have taken him on with 73?

Hope it worked out for you.
