I think checking this flop is a pretty good idea for a few reasons:

1) stacks. Its often tough to get stacks in good here when we're 150x deep.
2) QJ on board. Two very real dangers for us in terms of sets, but also we can pretty much guarantee to get as much or more value from one pair hands like AQ/KQ/AJ on later streets by checking behind the flop
3) we aren't too concerned about giving free cards here, really. some cards suck, but its not like we have to stack off if they come or anything.


As played, probably get it in just because of how big the pot is and how crazy this guy seems from the limited sample of hands on him.

I think this is spot on. I would also add that bigger 3-bet preflop is better.

And yes, as played you are stuck in this spot.
