Tricky Live $400NL Hand

[stueydakid]

The game is NL with a capped buy in of $400. The blinds are $5 and $10. The game is very laggy. I have not played very many hands and my image is that of a solid player. Most of the players at the table respect my play. Late middle position opens for $40. Cut off calls, button calls, hero calls in the BB with 10 10, 2 other players call. 6 to the flop for $240. Hero is short stacked with only $260 behind, the remaining players all have at least $600. The flop is 833. Which of the two lines do you like and why or why not?

1) Moving in in front of everybody. I most likely have the best hand and will probably take down the $240 right there.

2) Checking with the hopes that the pre-flop raiser will bet a hand like AK so that I can check-raise all in and get maximum value for my hand. The only problem with this is if it gets checked around and an A,K,Q or J hits the turn I will most likely have to abandon the hand given that I am against 6 opponents.

I appreciate all thoughts and alternative lines.
