Don't you think it's better to bet the turn and check behind on the river since that cost as much as checking the turn and call the river, with the added benefit that you charge them to see the next card?

This is a viable option, if you're capable of folding to a check/raise.

If it's that unlikely that we have the best hand, aren't we better of folding? I mean, if the odds are good enough for us to continue, shouldn't we toss in another bet and try to protect our hand the times it is best?

There is no clear cut way of determining whether you are ahead or behind here. That said, I think you need to do your best to get to a cheap showdown which is best done by raising the flop rather than the turn.
I hope I am not rambling, and I dont' want to come off as my way is the right way, I am just stating my views as to why I would play the hand the way I described, which could in fact, be the worst way [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
