In terms of options:
Shoving - This option is awful. You will only get called when losing.
Checking - keeps pot small. If you check, you are looking to check this down or call one bet on the river.
Betting - This likely takes it down vs. air but risks a c/r vs. a big hand.
In summary - I think on this board, i'm going to try and check it down most often, occasionally bet/calling against bluffier V's. It's very hard to bet and not call it off here, so if you do bet, be prepared to call.
This was spot on and would have been the right.

This was helpful and clearly shows me why my line of thinking was flawed.
I shoved for four reasons
1) 3 bet was small and felt weak
2) No Cbet
3) I didn't want do deal with a check raise (which he would have knowing the results)
4) I thought I may have some FE and would never be drawing dead
He called with AA and held.
