I am thinking it's pretty likely that he has a weaker ace or pp which may fold if I lead out. Just bad luck?

Edit: it's the sunday million

Re: Do I need to lead out on this flop?
 

With AQ i think it's better to lead, so you can consider laying it down if villain pushes over you (here i would call the push - cause he could easily be on a flush-draw) - with AK i'd c/r.

Re: Do I need to lead out on this flop?
 

he's only got 5k after flop, I don't think I could bet-fold ever there...

Re: Do I need to lead out on this flop?
 

plus I think AK is very unlikely as he should have shoved pre.

Re: Do I need to lead out on this flop?
 

AK is unlikely right - still i would not like to risk giving a free card here.

leading is fine, but dear god not for this reason

lead this flop because its drawy and you have the nuts and you cant give a free card to this dude

also lead an amount that gives him a chance to be a retard and shove something dumb

you're not folding this hand w/ these stacks, so play optimally

i agree with you of course - in this hand

the lead with AQ and c/r with AK was more a general guideline i use when playing the high aces.
