meh I dunno how I feel about checking the turn when like half the deck is a scare card on the river.

Yes, but 1/4 of the deck is gin. Dropping top set in a small pot on a 4-flush river is preferable to being pushed off on the turn, or at least being put into a marginal situation.

General consensus was to check behind if checked too even if that might give a free card.

The turn just killed most of the value of your hand, but we still want to show it down if possible. The river can change that either way.

Am I getting this?
