-But even though an opponent may very well bet turn and river if we check to them, we are still going to want to fold. There simply are not enough bluffs in his range to warrant calling down. That is my opinion, but I strongly stand by it.

Why is bet/folding a better line when if called we're check/folding river all the time? Why not just check/fold always (turn) and save a bet if always folding river? You stated that worse hands will call a turn bet but doesn't that also set up villain to balance his bluffs on the river when we check? It seems to me that it would set up an either totally behind/ahead river decision.
If I was going to bet/fold (turn), check/fold (river)...wouldn't check/fold (turn), check/call (river) cost basically the same and win some % of the time? I understand that we are letting draws get there cheaply but in a situation where we are either going to win small or loose big. It seems checking both streets for pot control + showdown would cost the same.
I'm sure your correct but I'm confused.
