C/R the flop and go from there.

Why would we attempt to check/raise this flop? First, with raisers wide range of raising hands there's a good chance he's whiffed this flop and will let it check thru. Second, why do we want to face MP1 with 2 cold and potentially blow him out of the pot?

In online, in a 3-way pot with the preflop aggressor the last one to act after it's checked to him on an Ace-high flop that he can represent TP on I'm pretty sure he'll c-bet this almost always.

That said I agree that donking the flop is the better option, as suggested by many responses.

And I'd like to add that it's important to pump the pot on the flop also because a 5, 4 or diamond could kill the action from an Ace.
