Pot's too big to just check/fold here. Probably just shove myself, maaybe check/call if I have any reason to believe the villain was floating the flop.

Also, your ace king is not suited.

Realistically, are any hands that we are beating actually calling us here? If we can get him to represent a flush or think his hand his good, checking surely gives us some extra value if he is aggro? Bet and we obviously have TPTK minimum, check and we could be representing AQ+, TT+ etc

Extending the topic slightly. If your common line here with TT-QQ, AQ is to check this flop, would that make us lean more towards checking? If so, are we going too weak, or otherwise will we not be too predictable? I'm trying to find a balance where the scales can be tipped either way based on villain..

I guess i will mostly go for a c/rAI here. If he checks behind and a fourth club hits. I hate myself.

I don't think a bet is the optimal line here as we fold out nearly every hand that we beat. A lot of opponents will try to take the pot down on the turn after we checked. And that adds us a lot extra value by weaker hands that would not pay us off if we'd bet.
