AA OOP cbet or check flop?

We opened from the UTG so on this flop we have many overpairs, flushdraws, some sets and overcards (with 6 outs). Our UTG range will always be strong on any board so we can often be aggressive. I'm not sure we have to think about protecting our checking range at that point at NL10. He has alot of worse hands that are calling: worse overpairs, flushdraws, straightdraws, overcards with backdoors... I think we have to bet the flop big (2/3 to 3/4) and plan to get 3 streets of value. It's true that we will maybe have to fold if he raise (probably at least vs a bet OTT), but how often we will face a raise? We don't want to loose value by checking because villain will sometimes raise our bet. On average we will earn more by betting and folding if he raise than by checking and calling if he bets.

95% agree, probably we have to try to get 2 streets of value when we play against good regs because the will often fold river or raise river for value or sometime as a bluff
