Once you bet the flop the first time, the rest looks fine to me. I was trying to work out if a flat-call of the c/r might be better, but there is just too damn much money in the middle, so it looks like a shove, although I'm not too thrilled about it.

But really, I see little point to betting the flop in the first place, you have one of those in-between hands, there is too much risk of getting c/r and now you are at the point where you have to shove and have given up your positional and (hopefully) skill edge.

I would just take another card off and go from there.

I bet this flop because theres a (slim) chance I take it down right here, or maybe I get a call or two then I'm still in control on the turn.

Well, if there's only a slim chance you take it down, I see no reason to put more money in, when you have nothing at the moment. You have a hand that's well-disguised otherwise so you are likely to get a bunch of $$ in the pot if you check now and hit the turn, or may get odds to draw cheap to the river in any case. And again, you are not liking a c/r at all which is quite likely on this flop.
