Bet/fold, is the best line. Checking leads us to get bluffed out more here, I like leading for $12-$14 and folding to a raise. Villian will have missed if he was playing AK/AQ/AJ and raise likely 99+ here.

Well you can check your missed AKs/AQs as well as your AA/KK to trap here on these flops against observant players. It gives you a free card with your overs (as well as a chance to bluff the turn) and gets you more value with AA/KK. Against an apparent maniac it does us no good here though.

This guy is probably betting almost always here if we check, so I think bet-folding is our only option. We don't quite have enough on him to know he'll bluff-shove his whole range over our c-bet so we'll have to give him respect and fold to a shove.
