I want to check/fold here.

pot is huge though

Only other line I can think of is to lead the flop and turn, folding to a raise. But I don't like that really. You've got about 6 outs, and there's definitely a 9 out redraw on you out there.

If you don't wanna check/fold, bet the flop, if you get a caller or two, bet out again on the turn again, folding to a raise all along.

how about check/raising the TAG?

I don't think it will fold a high spade behind you, and the tag could easily have a hand like 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I know the pot's big, but I really don't want to get heavily involved here.

I think checking first out on the flop is a good choice. If everyone checks to MP1, who bets, it might be best to raise. But I'm wary getting involved in this pot unless it's Heads up.

EASY check fold, you cannot go any further with any certainty, pot size means little in this situation.

I mean are you wanting to draw to at most 8 dirty-as-hell outs? Not to mention you may be drawing dead.
