Default $5r - hit my flop real well, slow play or bet it?

In the $5r - the other two guys in this hand also have big stacks. The SB has been a little active and BB is new to the table. Put them on fairly wide PF ranges. I've made reraises recently, one 10 hands ago taking down a pot and I also showed down J3s when I stacked a 4k stack about 20 hands ago. Check or bet this flop?

I'd bet just under the pot. If I got a nibbler, I'd hope for an A to hit, then push when it did.

pot flop, 2-3, 3-4 PSB on the turn. Arr in on the river. I'm playing this hand to the river pretty much regardless of what comes.

Potting the flop is just wrong here. make your standard bet here, about 1500. obviously jam it in if you get c/r'd.

Would you bet if you had AK here?

If so, bet the same amount.

If not, bet the same amount as you would c-bet here. No reason to do anything out of the ordinary. Checking after raising PF is out of the ordinary.

What's your standard C-bet? pot? Half-pot? 2/3? Do it, and tend towards the top of your c-betting range - you got a great hand that's still vulnerable to a spade on subsequent streets. If you are lucky - you will get check-raised at which point I personally would either tank to the timebank and then shove, or tank for a bit and flat call, depending on my opponent's tendencies.
