$50NL tightish table with bunch of usual low stakes donks and some TAGG wannabes. 100BB stacks

I'm UTG+1 with :As: :Ks:, I open for $2. Folds to aggressive but not so great MP (overplayer) who reraises to $6, I call.

Board :Ad:, :Ts:,

I want to get our stacks in the middle ASAP and I'm willing to pay off aces, tens and unlikely AT.

What's the best way to do it? Any difference in best lines if flushdraw wasn't mine?

What's the best line?

- check/ small raise + open push turn?
- check/bomb flop and pray?
- b/3b AI on flop?
- minbet flop, minbet/minraise turn, minbet/call river?

Results:
I check, he pots, I push he thinks and calls. Turn blank, river spade but I didnt need it, his AQ no goot.

"How could I call that bet? How could you MAKE that bet? It's poker not solitaire. " - that Gus Bronson guy

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

I play this a little slow to let all sorts of other stuff bluff off lots of money trying to rep my hand.

If I improve, I'm looking to find an extra bet somewhere.

The sad fact is AK really tends to get it in good post-flop against stupid and hyper-aggro opponents. With 2 Aces in sight, the odds of AQ/AJ are reduced and further cut by the fact typical NL100/200ish players are going to be rather careful with those hands.
