If they're constantly calling your continuation bets, then you need to mix in checking when you hit, checking when you miss, and vary the size of your continuation bets when you miss...vary them between 40% and 100% of the pot. If I see that you put in a continuation bet of size x regardless of if you hit or miss, then I'm going to start taking a stab every couple hands to take one away since it's going to be +EV for the times that you miss. To defend, you need to make me less confident that you're really putting a continuation bet in, and you do that by varying your bets AND your betting pattern.
