I disagree with many points listed above. Sure you've hit one of the things you wanted, but that in no way means you have to play it agressively.
Overbetting the pot so we have the odds to call a shove also makes no sense - this means we're actually losing even more equity when someone shoves because we can't make a profitable fold. An overbet doesn't look especially strong so we don't have much more fold equity. People aren't flat calling it particularly often & bluffing with total air isn't profitable here so overall betting can't be that profitable.
So I go against everyone & check.
