He loves taking hands to the showdown against you so he may or may not call down with ace high.

I must have a fundamental misunderstanding of some kind. Because in this hand, and virtually every one of these blind battle posts (which I appreciate very much!), it looks like any attempt to make him fold fold a better hand must be -EV. You are in a position here in my opinion in which aggression can only hurt you. Unless you improve, I think you should just check and keep calling as long as you continue to think that is a better choice than folding. The way to exploit a player who "loves taking hands to the showdown against you" in an situation like this to play almost purely for value.

I would very much appreciate if someone could set me straight because I evidently need it. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks,
