I think that what bothers me with the check/call approach is that if he is aggro and he is capable of two-barreling with AK or lower pairs, we're also in trouble. What do we do if he pots the flop, we call, check a blank turn and he fires a 3/4 PSB again? Keep calling?

This being said, again, I totally agree that if a flop bet is unlikely to get value out of AK, then there is no point making it. But then kmind, if he checks behind on the flop, what are we trying to do with a lead out on the turn? Is he not just as unlikely to call this turn bet with his AK as he was to call it on the flop?
I agree with this one
