I might just c/c the flop/turn/river. Please explain your reasoning for a flop bet.

I believe it's for value.

Right. This guy will raise with so much #%@$ on the flop that we almost welcome the raise. The combined chances that our hand is in front and that we will hit one of our pair outs makes this a value bet in my opinion. Just like on a 2236 board for instance I would also bet the turn with AK. He is foaming at the mouth to raise this turn regardless of his cards so you bet and call down, basically inducing a bluff raise often enough that it finances the times he actually does have you beat and you fail to pass him on the river. (Thanks Jeff W, ALL1N, and others for pointing this out to me).
