I am tempted to check that flop if I knew there was an aggressive player behind me. That board had to hit someone and it is likely I am huge favorite. I can then trap the other players for two more bets and build a big pot.

Remember that situations like this are gold in limit hold em. Focus on all the players in the pot at that time. You may even trick an aggressive player into a bluff. Your way ahead and you collect your money on the flop.

I amiably disagree with checking the flop. You have to protect your hand with a raised (big) pot. Only one player acts behind you and giving a free card here would be the worst.

How could giving a free card be the worst result for you? There is much worse things you can do in poker. The big question here is how aggressive was the player left to act behind the OP.

The only hand ahead of you at this point is QJ. That could be out there but I am not playing this passive. I even have live outs against that hand.

Also, to the poster who feared the second ace coming out, why?
