When we check the turn, we now appear weaker, making our river bet more bluffy in their eyes, and, they don't have to worry about another barrel after, and thus we get 2 streets of value instead of 1.
further, the argument for checking the turn is the range above is larger than V's draw hand range.
obviously, things can go wrong either way, such is the nature of "minimal read, TP2K, OOP, SPR7"
in practice, for me, it would be all about the read and my image, I can see checking the flop or checking the turn or b/f the turn or b/c the turn.
