There is no reason to bet this flop given the line-up. You might clear out one

It would be nice to get some poeple to incorrectly fold but even if they never ever fold to your bet it could easily still be right. If you are favored to have the best hand at the moment then given the texture of the board (the fact that it's unlikely for someone to have two overcards +guthshot or better if they don't have a pair. If one of them has a flush draw well that sucks but with no one betting how often will that be the case?) then a bet is going to make you money.

be forced to bet the turn again cause the pot is so huge and given the field I just don't think you're ahead and going to stay ahead often enough to justify betting instead of taking a free turn card.

One of the main reasons I would bet here is because not only are you probably a favorite on the flop but you get to see what the turn card is AND what everyone else does before you have to make any decision on the turn. That's alot of flexibilty. In fact you could be a dog on the flop and have betting still be right given the ability to correctly evaluate whats going on in the hand awarded to you by your excellent position.
