Checking the turn looks kinda bad to me. I don't really want to be giving a card here.

Why not? He either just got there with the straight and is trapping me by checking after I bet the flop, or I still have him crushed if he had a hand like K8. The only hands I really don't want to be giving free cards to are ones with tens and pair + jack hands, which there aren't that many of after the flop.

I see what you mean, but bsides giving draws to your very vulnerable hand, you are missing value when you're ahead. Not only this, what do you do on the river? You are not really minimizing losses when you have to call AI anyway...I think you're bringing too much river mentality to the turn.
