While we're OOP, taking control of the hand helps that out a lot ... we're very likely buying this pot on the flop.

raising preflop only makes it harder to win this pot unimproved on the flop. now that you've raised preflop, clearly they expect a bet on any flop. they'll call you with a ton of stuff and the pot will be twice as big and you'll be out of position. raising preflop also makes them play better when you make a pair of aces. like, a lot better. if you just check, mp1 is going to bet the flop about 100% of the time when checked to. if you want to steal this pot, check here and bet the flop when SB checks. there's no reason to pump this pot here. its not like mp1 posted a blind.
it is bad.
