I would bet the river for value. most of the time you will win. Are you afraid of a full house?

Sometimes you need to determine what a bet accomplishes for you. Hand reading will tell you this guy has a hand worth betting if checked to, almost guaranteed.
Sure, I'm ahead of his overall hand range, but there will be 1 bet going in regardless of who bets for many of his possible holdings. So now a bet only looks appealing if villain has a hand worth calling 1 bet with but not worth betting himself if checked to. Can you think of some hands in this category that are in villain's range considering his aggressive play, especially on the turn? This isn't some typical party monkey I'm up against, he plays good poker.
I will, however, be raised on this river when he did just fill up or make quads. In the grand scheme of things, it's probably close between betting and checking. Maybe I'm overanalyzing things, but this seems to be worth exploring.
