I flopped top two pair. I did want to win a big pot, but I did not want to chase him out? What should I do?

against cs i would bet enough on the flop to be able of pushing any turn...

against ppl who play aggressive, i might consider C/R pottish and then push any turn...

edit : without reads i bet the flop nearly potsize, and push any unimproved turn

I had no reads yet.

You could check raise and win a smaller amount of money more consistently, I bet, but if you make some kind of weakish lead you might induce a raise from a villain holding Ax and you could 3bet all-in. The former I see as a more consistent addition to your stack, whereas the second move might get you the most money but not as consistently (I'd do this one if the player was LAG-ish). You could also c/c the flop and go from there, see if he'll take the lead. Without specific reads on the players, each seems a viable option.

Bet 375 and shove any turn. That's easy.
