Having said that if he has you beat with a straight then he is probably only calling the turn bet in which case I think you have to check the River and let it go if he bets.
You see this is the possibility which I don't like - I don't like bet-bet flop and turn to then check river because I feel like we induce a river bluff. Wheras I don't feel like we induce so many bluffs if we c/c turn, because I don't think he follows through on the river so often. Someone tough enough might see that our hand can't take a ton of pressure, but mostly I think after we call the turn he'll just give up.
Perhaps it really depends on the turn - I certainly don't want to let him check behind when the turn gives him a lot more draws, but if I can check turn planning to call I think that has two benefits - he can stab with his air like MMM said, and he can check behind and do my pot control for me.
