I check/call for balance but I'm more focused on realizing my equity with my weaker range. Live players just aren't very good at adjusting to frequencies and I get to showdown a lot more than I should with my weaker made hands because villains have seen me take similar lines with the top of my range.
If you are check/shoving the turn in this spot, when villain folds you were probably way ahead anyway. If called villains have half the deck, it's a chop, or you are getting freerolled. When you are hoping to chop or avoid half the deck then you are in a bad spot. This is based on playing a standard solid live pro or readless. If you have a read then do what's most +EV.
