Villain is 50.53/10.64/.95

I'm afraid of getting check-raised on the turn once again, so I check to call river. Thoughts? I think versus this type of villain, bet/folding the turn is better.

Against an opponent who plays a lot of hands but does not play them too aggressively,
Betting out is definitely the best option.

Typically, we just don't gain enough by checking to this kind of player to offset the risk of allowing a free river card.
