    I don't think theres any question you have the best hand, so Id just be thinking about the best way to get your remaining 8.6k in the middle. I think your line looks more bluffy if you shove turn rather than check turn and shove river because many people expect you to slowplay AK/AA on the turn. He most likely has showdown value after calling your flop cbet, so he's likely checking back turn if you check and might end up folding to a river bet if theres another scare card

    I think shoving is the only play really...given stack size I think I'd raise more preflop and shove the flop.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    Are you really worried villain floated flop with AK,KQ,KJ? I agree that your ahead but I also think you could check/call or check/shove for value. I only say that because the K could be a scare card for villain also and they might fold worse pairs to your turn shove.

    Not worried about if villain floated flop, I'm just wondering how much value I get from shoving, or is c/c the better option... was kinda stumped. Still unsure.

    If you check, what do you think the villain is betting with? I would think he checks behind pretty often.

    for me personally, I would check turn and shove river. Don't know if its optimal or not.
