Default PS - 4/180 - QQ with overcards on the flop

Several hands before this I just took all of the chips of the Button. He called me down with KJ when I hit a bottom set-fullhouse on the turn. I left him with 240 chips because I didn't think he'd call off all of his chips, but I probably could have busted him if I put him all-in.

No reads on BB.

BB checks, Hero checks

I just knew an Ace and King would flop. This is probably the 3rd out of 4 times that I had QQ preflop and an A and K hit the flop at the same time, so I'm unsure how to play here.

Do I make a probe bet to see where I am at? Are those scare cards for them too? I guess I was doing well with my chips and didn't want to throw them away. Do I make a probe bet and then shut down if I get a caller?

I'd have raised more pre, probably 225. After the button calls, the BB is getting a great price with ATC. A probe bet here isn't an awful play since the two callers will figure you for an ace, but I'd be happy to check it down with two overs.

I generally bet 250 here. He's flatting with tons of pairs, suited connectors,etc.

Checking here gives him the green light to bluff the turn and with his stack I really don't think you can call.
