I just don't like the idea of always checking or checking raising with monster hands. If you check/call or it's checked around, the pot stays small. You want to build the pot so that your opponents are pot committed by the river. Betting out has the added benefit of pricing out long-shot draws.

Very well put Phil, I agree 100% with your post and the above statement [the always part]. I don't typically slow play a hand this big, but it seemed at the time, based on the particular set of circumstances, that a slow play was acceptable. I was lucky to get unlucky.
