Default When betting will only get you into trouble

Both players are standard 1/2 players. Will call with any sort of draw, but if hit a very made hand, will check raise.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (6 SB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

I attempted to take diwn the pot here, but planned to check behind if called and UI on the turn.

Turn: (4.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks.

I have just hit the best worst card imaginable. I have a powerful set but any king makes a straight. I checked behind here because I wanted to go to a showdown but did not want to get check raised. Are there any arguments to betting this turn? Any king will check raise me and a lot of other draws will bail.

I also think that checking the turn will cause weaker hands to bet into me on the river thus snapping off a bluff

Thoughts?
