Can someone please explain the "check" line of reasoning here?

I'm not much of a NL player so I don't quite understand the, what I perceive to be passive, move of checking the turn.

Essentially, I would think you are giving away a free card to beat you when you are probably ahead. You would be giving infinite odds for any number of hands to catch up and win the pot with a better hand.

Is the line of reasoning that if you bet the only players who could call are those who have you beat?

Are players with AJs or not playing at this level? If the players are that solid aren't you essentially begging for someone to bluff at you on the river? What do you do then?

BTW, what is wrong with charging the draws? It makes you pot committed so I could understand shoving your stack on the turn as well.

The "check" line confuses me here. I would also think you are setting yourself up for the entire table to take shots at you in future hands.
