Flop to me depends on how many hands you have with villain, how often they call c bets, and if they know or have seen potentially how you play a flopped flush.  On this board with our hand I agree that you have to check one of the streets here whether it is the flop or the turn.  I actually like checking back the flop here and seeing what the turn brings and how villain reacts to that turn along with my flop check.  I think the above mentioned small flop bet is fine too but on these flops, when we are deep effective, a lot of 1Heart,X hands will call no matter what unless we really try to blow them out of the water and with AK no heart hand you are then just setting money on fire.  Its best to check here and then plan on potentially making a turn move or you could also just float some turns with AK as a bluff catcher after you "showed weakness" on the flop by just checking.  I get your point about 3 betting here and then checking as it may look weak but would you ever check a monster on the flop after 3 betting and does villain know this?  I dont know the answer to those questions but a check here could be taken as a potential trap too so I dont think you are automatically giving up on the hand in the villains eyes when and if you check flop here.

As played river is a fold as once in a while you could catch a bluff here with your AK but not often enough to make up for the times you are running into something that is beating Ace high.
