so if we check the turn, and SB bets a nothing river, we're folding?

Not exactly sure your question proves that because our action depends heavily on the other two players. I see no problem checking the turn and calling the river if everyone else bails.

Because of the Pf and flop raises the pot is big. If the turn checks around the SB may be tempted to bet a lot because you've backed off. Once the other two players fold, I think you basically have to call almost no matter what the river was because you're gettin ghuge pot odds.

I think if you're calling the river, which you may have to do even if SB bets and another calls, you may as well bet the turn just in case your hand is good at that point. This isn't the spot to take the free card when the other players are likely the ones to need the free card more than you.
