i agree with not getting tricky w/ TPTK, but i dont think checking the turn is getting too tricky. it allows a lot of free looks at the river, which may backfire, but i think a lot of stuff you are ahead of folds to the A, and it may not if we check. we may induce a bluff. i'm not saying its the default play, i was just wondering how to max value out of a scary, dry board when the A likely kills action? dont read too much into it, it was just an off-the-top-of-the-head idea. in no way was it meant to be a standard play.

as for "image," dont take that too seriously, either. your image at a microstakes table like this amounts to crap. your opponents? yes, that matters. your image? not really, imo, unless you've been running really hot.
