Hero...
This type of situation comes up every now and then when you unexpectedly hit a huge hand on the flop and want to get all your chips in the middle.
Trapping is one option but the last thing you want to do is not get any value out of the hand or give a free card to a flush or straight draw that will take all your chips if hit.
Pushing isn't +EV here but betting probably can be. Betting however, shows sterngth and you'd much rather have one or both or your opponents fall in love with trying to steal this pot than put them on the defensive to your agression.
But in order to get them to fall in love with stealing the pot, you've probably got to check or at most mini-raise the flop.
The again, if one of your opponents has a king your your kicker beat it's going to be hard to get this information out of him as he will probably be trying to trap as well.
I'm going back and forth. Hopefully some of you can chime in on what is the best play or if you're not sure like me, what do you do in situations like these?
