B/F seems the best line here. Checking IP gives you another street to improve, but will most likely lose you the pot in case you don't actually improve.

I think a bet or a call are both reasonable. Some of the time you have the best hand. Betting keeps you're range wider. If cbet called I would check most turns and bluff catch or fold to a river bet unimproved. AKs too good to fold pre.

We have three options here:
1. We can b/f flop about half pot and shut down unimproved
2. We can b/f flop and if called with intention of shoving turn on any over card
3. Check flop and shut down unimproved

Read less I'd lean towards the passive line to check flop and shut down. We only have $6 invested in the pot and I don't really want to spend another $19 to find out whether or not villain can fold a medium underpair or overcards.

My second preference is taking aggressive line of betting flop and shoving turn. The shove will fold out medium pocket pairs that call flop and over cards.
