Hi guys I have a question about play Ace high at OOP

Let's assume that we have AK or AQ from UTG.

We open raise and only BTN calls.

the flop is 552 rainbow.

Now, do we c-bet on this board?

If I am at in-position, I would check-back because if villain has pair, which is better hand than mine, then he would not fold

and if villain has some king-high or ace-high, which is worse hand than mine, then he would fold.

Yes, if I have best hand, I have best hand here.

but I don't know how to play Ace-high hand at OOP.

It is the same rule. if I have medium strength hand here, there is no reason to bluff.

but check-call seems little bit weak.

I would definitely c-bet with King high hand on this dry board.

any idea?
