Flop check is good -- I don't think you fold anything out and I don't think it's a value bet.

This is the only part of what you wrote that I disagree with. It's clearly not a pure value bet, but I think that this is a situation where, if you're not willing to c-bet you might as well just check/fold, to-wit, both of these players are LAP, precisely the type to get into a pissing contest preflop, call one with longshot hands on the flop and fold when it doesn't come in on the turn. This flop is scary enough that any player that doesn't have a piece of it may well give up right there. Saying Hero won't get anything to fold is just being results-oriented. If you get raised on your flop bet, I think you can give it up, especially if the other player is still in, saving yourself the agony of having a king or ace fall on the turn and having to decide what to do.
