I usually just check-call 4th street since he is almost never folding after you catch the biggest blank possible, and this way you avoid getting raised.

I like to lead out in this situation with the overcards, but I don't believe this to be incorrect either. The reason for the lead IMO is to win the hand on fifth with a bet. I think that it is tougher to bluff fifth if you haven't bet fourth. If he re-raises, I am gone. I am certainly not saying your way of playing the hand is wrong either. Against some very persistant opponents I will opt for your method. Just another perspective.
