$2.20 NL HE: AQ with Top Pair and Nut Flush Draw
Context: We are in the mid stages of a 2.20 tourney. I have been playing ridiculously tight, and just raised from Early Position with AcQc. I get only one caller (a large stack). The flop comes 5c2cAs, giving me top pair and the nut flush draw. I figure this guy's LP flat calling range is fairly wide, but I can't see how this flop would have hit him in any way unless he had a small pocket pair and hit a set. My question is, would it be more profitable to simply cbet here (likely taking the pot down without a fight) or check (taking advantage of my tight image) and induce a bluff, so that I can check-raise? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance, hand is below!
Stacks:
* SB with 1605
* BB with 2590
* UTG with 1755
* UTG+1 with 4230
* MP1 with 3460
* MP2 with 5855
* CO with 5590
* BTN with 9180
Blinds: 30/60

* * 5♣ 2♣ A♠
