You want to bet to build the pot to stack someone and not necessarily to protect your hand.

You want people to put you on AK and call at least one street with their pocket pair or you want them to try to raise you off your rags.

Pretty unlikely this happens unless one of the blinds decides to pull a hero bluff. The players on our left are going to be in a tough spot when we bet because of all the players still to act.

There are also metagame concerns that I personally don't concern myself with.

I disagree. Hero got 5 callers, its the first big multiway pot, and he's OOP. This is a great spot to check a set, and hope for some action behind. You gotta be really bad to bet AK or w/e in this spot, so its really natural to check. Stay out of the way and hope for some retarded action.
