Check also = very very very bad.
You want to give free cards OOP against 2 players when you have AA in a huge pot and your stack is almost exactly the size of the pot? Do you not like money?

I don't think I agree with this. You have two players who called a very substantial 4-bet, which means either that their are on QQ+/AK or they are idiots. Either way, a flop check very likely invites a large bet or a shove which will allow you to get your chips in on the flop. In the very unlikely event that both check behind, there's a 75% chance of a turn that will allow us to bet confidently on the next street.
