I know im not pushing out a PP, but say it's 50-50 between villian has a PP or 2 overcards... even though betting pattern seems to be more of a PP. Do we give up on the river or put in 1 stab...?

stats/reads on villain?

Why not semi-bluff raise the flop or turn? You are in position, so doing so will give you information about his hand strength earlier AND might buy you a free card (should you choose to take it) on later streets if he checks to the raiser.

Playing your draws passively in position like this is just going to put you consistently in spots like this one where you are just guessing all the time.

It depends on the person you are playing. Have you been paying attention to whether that player is tight or loose? Most of the time you can get a feel for a player and know if your bluff will maybe work on a player.
