Default Bet the flop?

Ignoring the results of the hand, should you have bet the flop? I’m not sure that’s getting the maximum value out of flopping the nut straight -- especially with an Ace on the board. If johnny wasn’t such a tool, and, say, was holding a pair nines or any other reasonable hand, and you bet into that board, especially after raising pre-flop, he’s going to fold.

I’d instead check/call the flop, then bet the turn (hoping for a raise so I can three-bet).
