10NL: AK flops TPTK on drawy board

I make my TPTK on this flop but with 3 cold callers it's not a very good flop. I'm not sure I played this hand very well. What line would others take?

Oh no! you hit your hand and checked the flop, have to bet that flop, I'd probably pot it. As played, at least call the turn, you don't have any indication that your even behind.

EDIT: and you finish the action on the turn so there is no one left that can raise if you just call.

I hit the flop but doesnt it look like a flop that a cold caller playing hands like JQ,J10,JK might have hit harder. I check because I dont want to bloat the pot OOP on a board that had to have hit one of 3 cold callers?

Thats looking for monsters under the bed. You have to pot the flop, make the draws pay, and keep control the hand.

Lead & evaluate that flop all day. As played I'd at least call the turn, villain can do that with any garbage K. Calling OOP here is bad.
