Help settle an argument I had with opponents
 

Deep in a toruney and I have about 50% more chips than my opponent. I raise 3xBB against him from SB (for the millionth time) with AJ. He calls.

Flop is KK5.

Now, here has been his betting pattern from previous hands: he bets flop if checked to, folds if I bet the flop.

So, let's assume that I know what cards he has (TOP Fundamental Theroem stuff). Say I know he has T3o. Isn't it correct that I check to induce a bluff?

That's what I did, but then he and another guy called me an idiot when he hit a T on the turn.

Oops. I edited it. Supposed to be KK5.

He bet flop. I called.

I think if you make a move like this, you have to protect your hand. When your "best" hand is A-high, you have to protect it with a flop raise. The check is fine to induce the bluff, but you have to push him out of the pot then. If you had KJ instead, you could check/call to the river to your heart's content.

But if you know your opponent's hand is ten high on the flop, you would still want to protect your hand?
