I just know I'm beat but...

Villian is zero2lose. He plays TAG PF and I haven't noticed any gaping holes postflop feel free to chime in about that though. He does seem to be semi-timid with me and we have played a lot together. I haven't noticed if that's just me or a general policy of his.

Here's the thing. I just feel like I'm never ahead of him and that he always has me outkicked. As he called on the river it just dawned on me. If I bet and he raises I can fold easily. But I hate betting, and I have checkcalling and I hate checkfolding. If I check he might value bet something like KhQh (i'm not sure) so I really have to call. And I know that if I'm calling a bet and will fold to a raise I might as well just go ahead and bet, but I just hated doing it.
