Default Re: Defense against continuation bet??

There are a number of ways to take money away from this opponent. The safest is to just play tight aggressive, where you fold bad cards and raise good ones. Absolutely feel free to raise AQ+ preflop if this guy's betting 30% of hands. Postflop you're going to want to check raise made hands. There's no sense betting top pair if opponent's going to bet if for you.

Now the real question I'd be asking here is whether your opponent's actually any good. That is, will he lay down some of these bluffs he's clearly making to a strong raise. If so, you may want to occasionally raise and check-raise as bluffs. This is a risky play, but likely a profitable one.
