Good lay down or too weak-tight?

A whole table limping pre-flop makes AA unlikely (and even if there was a chance, there's no harm in betting for information against this board), so I pot the flop with middle set. Sadly, the one stack that could seriously damage mine calls me, as do a few others.

The turn is the A, and its checked to the big stack, who bets most of the pot.

I have no read on this player, but I've been burned badly lately by a combination of bad beats, ruthless aggressionn, and the odd loose call.

So four-part question...

1. Was my check too weak, or was I reasonable in check-folding to A5?

2. Should I have folded to the big stacks's bet, or should I have raised for information.

3. Is betting nearly all of the pot typically a tell of strength or a tell of weakness? I lean towards the latter and thought of acting accordingly, but I'd rather some input.

4. Is BisonBison really down, or is there another place I can find it?

Lead out for the pot on the turn. Bet half the pot on the river. Fold if he raises the pot back at you on either street.

I would not check that turn, you are inducing a semi-bluff that you cannot counter.

I might have tried for the c/r on the flop here.

Thanks. I figured that with three callers on my flop bet, A5 was very possible.
