Why not check the flop?

Checking the flop is bad for two reasons - it is sometimes the dead give away that you hit it big. Also, it lessens your ability to buy pots later on when you miss. (If you'd always check when you hit)

So, we're assuming that villain thinks we'll have AA if we check? He may think we have KK-JJ and we're afraid of an A or AA from him. Granted, that's weak, but we've only been playing with villain for 20 hands, what does he know. This may gain us a bet or more.
Why should I be concerned about how this hand will affect my image? Slowplaying like this occurs so infrequently and I'm going to be betting so many other flops that I hit.
