because?

I like the checkraise on the flop. Now when you lead the turn what is he putting you on? Your combo is well disguised. Very often he will put you on a jack and a steal or two pair/a set. The key argument for leading the turn is that many river cards will kill the action. After villain 3-bet the flop an ace (AK/AQ) is not a big part of his range (except AJ). Looks very much like AA-JJ/99 or a pure bluff to me. Either way he will almost never bet the turn for you; he must be very scared of the flush.

Lead the turn for half the pot.

How awful would a 4-bet on the flop be?

BTW You shouldn't include 'UTG folds'.
