checking with outs comes to play when you are last to act and you have the option of betting or checking behind. with a player to act behind you, you are deferring this option to that guy basically limiting your options to checking and having to call if he does bet, while betting the turn yourself in this situation may get you to a showdown or even take the pot down right there. when you're checking in this spot, you aren't really checking behind and getting free cards, you're having to call a bet many times here and taking away your own bluffing equity when you check and call or having it checked through.
