QQ: check the turn for pot control?

[leehrat]

thanks everyone for the advice so far on my other hands...

i'd appreciate any advice on this one. i have no read on the villain. i bet this turn because my opponents have been sucking out on me constantly lately, but i'm thinking i should have checked to control the pot size. once i got checkraised i basically had to call. any thoughts?
