Default Whiffed AKs on wrong monotone flop

Final two tables in $20 1r+1a

Villain was at my first table. He open limps a lot with any stack size and has doubled up with AA thus. At that first table, I was pretty laggy and donk doubled through him, calling a reraise from BB with AJ and calling his check-raise push, turning trips to beat KK. He hasn't notably defended his blinds, but I was pretty laggy early and I've been pretty laggy since he came to the table.

It's a didactic query.

This is a pretty interesting situation, and one I don't think im very good at. I tend to cont bet too often even when I 'know' they are going to c/r me, although trying to resist these spots a bit more these days.

Given how much is in the pot, im really tempted to take a stab at this given we have nothing HOWEVER,

I think this could be one of those spots i struggle with, and here Villian can c/r us with such a wide range and we still have to fold.

Saying all this, I think i prefer a check behind here with the intention of firing a delyaed cont bet on the turn.

fire out around 15ish...more times than none if hes not holding a heart he would not want to get involved in the hand and he will just let it go.

My default is to shove preflop here. It makes your hand pretty transparent, but so what.
