It seems pretty important to protect your hand with that giant pot. A checkraise is the only way to do this.

If I successfully check-raise the button then the two guys in between us will be facing two bets cold so they'll "only" be getting 11-1 or so (depending on who else calls the button's bet.) This doesn't offer me any protection. Moreover it risks giving the field a free card when the button has a pocket pair that isn't AA. Finally, I think that against most players who fit the button's description, if I manage to check-raise him I will be doing so with a hand worse than his.
