This.
Size down your flop bets on dry/static boards like this when your range is extremely weighted towards nutted hands (big overpairs in this instance), so its harder for your opponents to make herofolds like this and be correct.
Like are you C betting AQ or AK for $65 here into two other people in a 3 bet pot? I think the answer is very likely no, and non droolers (nits) will also come to the same conclusion. Nits biggest fear is to lose their entire stack,so because of that they dont mind making herofolds to avoid stacking off into QQ+ here, even if they are making the wrong fold some portion of the time.
Also checking this flop with AA some portion of the time is important, so that the nit can make the false assumption that you have AQ/AK because you didnt bet the flop and thus putting in alot more money with a hand like JJ in this spot.
