Kind of a broad noob question but....
Since I started playing micro NL a little over a month ago, I find that a lot off my losses so far are occuring on the river. At the 5NL & 10NL limits, is it safe to assume that TPTK is never going to be good when faced with a pot sized or greater all-in bet or raise on the river when the villain in an unknown and has called bets on every street?
Does the answer change if I checked the turn for pot control?

"Bets on the turn and river are rarely bluffs" - paraphrased Phil Helmuth
You definitely have to call more often on the river when you Induce a Bluff. That's part of why you check the turn, to induce a bluff on the river. The river bet should be around the range of a typical turn bet and you save yourself a big river bet if you are beat.
