However if you check the turn, you are giving the hand away, and he might well be taking advantage of that and forcing you to fold if he puts in a well sized bet

It is true that checking exposes you to the possibility of being forced to fold the best hand. However, a "tricky" player is a lot more likely to bluff/semi-bluff with a hand you are beating so you do not have to automatically fold to a bet. Also, betting out on the turn bloats the pot which is not usually a good thing when you have a mediocre hand.
