Couple of 50nl, 6-max line checks.

Hand 1: I'd be very tempted to call this river bet had I checked behind on the turn. However, I have been testing out betting my fair hands on the turn, then checking behind on the river. Seems this play costs the same as checking the turn for pot control, then having to face a possible bluff/value bet from opponent on the river; and it keeps tough value bet decisions on the end for myself to a minimum. Not to mention I don't give any free cards. Thoughts?
