Need Help: Betting Big Hands

[that_pope]

This situation came up last night, and I would like advice for how to treat it in the future.

I am in the BB with AA, one limper, small blind completes, and I raise.

Flop comes A99, check, I bet, both fold.

I bet probably 95% of the time when I raise preflop, and 99% of the time when I flop big. Checking seems to be such a weak play, it sets off alarm bells in my head at least.

Is there anyway I can get by checking this flop and then the turn to hope to pick off one bet.

I raise in the SB with a ton of hands with only one limper, KQ+, 88+, etc, and would bet every flop with that range. Betting seems to not reveal anything about my hand, but checking does.....

Please enlighten me if I can ever check when my opponents are very likely to miss the whole thing.
