Once we check behind with third pair on this board, are we committing ourselves to showdown?

Of course (I cant think of a river card I would fold, but there might be one). Think of this as manipulating the expected value. In the long run your going to extract more bets out of his bluffs than you will out of him by sucking out. You are forfeiting the ability to protect your hand for the profit you will make when he bets with air.

flop bet isn't just to protect our hand. it is also for value. This is a drawy board, and worse hands will call us.
