Raise the flop definetly, making it 280 straight would be good.

All things being equal I raise this flop....unless there has been some significant river bluffing by yourself on busted draws(especially flushes..) and you think you can win a HUGE pot by slowplaying here. This isnt that safe of a flop ...it isnt bad or horrible but I still put in a raise usually.

Raises like this don't get called by AQ.

Unless you're very sure that villain will read this as a spade semi-bluff and call, it's probably not the best way to go.

I lead out here almost every time.

Well, you're definitely protecting your hand. Obviously if villain has AA he is calling (unless he can somehow put you on 3-4?), but he is also calling with AK, and that's probably what he's got. Also you might get UTG to come along too with a smaller set or some kind of two pair hand. Betting big here looks like a good play to me...

I don't think with KK and a K-2-5 board against an early position raiser and UTG limper you are in too much danger of getting sucked out on. Leading out just seems silly on this flop. Only AK, AA, or a set are going to give you a whole lot of play past the flop. If the flop were such that someone else could have a big piece of it, yeah, lead out. But You pretty much have the deck crippled with that flop, so you should give the guy a chance to bet QQ or worse and make at leats a little money.

AA, AK, or a set are coming with you anyway even if you check call the flop and then checkraise the turn.

I didn't realize hero wasn't the raiser preflop. I might checkraise all in on the flop to represent a draw, but I would probably lead out and take it from there. It depends on the skill of the opponents and how they view me.
