to somewhat echo what one of the posters above wrote, i don't think you should play every hand with a "trying to produce nice pokertracker stats" mentality. with a hand like this, your main focus is trying to extract as much as possible and if checking helps you do that, then check. the way i try to adjust is on an overall, and not hand by hand basis. for instance, after reviewing my aggression stats, i want to improve my preflop aggression, so i make a concerted effort not to limp preflop from early position, unless i plan to checkraise a preflop raise or now i raise hands i previously would have limped with in late position.

i don't think checking a monster flop is going to lead to an overall lower post flop aggressive game because you're not going to be flopping quads or the nuts as often as you'll be missing flops.
