It's really close. I don't mind the check.

Very close, but I think the average player leads an ace here a lot, so I bet and expect to see TT and JJ a lot.

I think checking is fine. I'm trying to think what hand a "typical" player would cap with that you would be ahead of that would play the flop and turn like this. I doubt TT,JJ would give up so easily on the flop and turn on a favorable flop. This looks so much like a big unpaired A (that will either call the river if passive or C/R if aggressive) that checking seems good.

On a positive note, based on what your opponent turns up, you will have some good information.

Do you think TT and JJ would play the flop and turn this passively on a favorable flop? Maybe if they are very passive....hmm.
