Tough board. I probably play the same.

But I have been experimenting in these situations with something. I don't think it would be a crime against humanity to check and call this board from the turn.

Reason being, depending on the player a lot of times you are going to just fold worse hands (ie no more value is forthcoming). Also there is enough of a chance that you are now behind, and really free cards are not a huge problem here.

I did this a coule times tonight, and managed to pick up some bets that I otherwise would not have gotten.
