If you call the turn raise, you have to call the river

I prefer to check the turn, I dont want to see it raised because then I'm not getting non flush (or small flush) overcalls. I also don't feel to confident in folding to a raise. If its bet and raised back to you, its a much easier fold. If it gets checked through, a free card does nothing but help you (if a heart drops, everyone may now call hoping for a split, or they may hit a pair or something (or even better trips) and now call). And a check through prolly doesnt cost you much, because they likely may have all folded anyway.
