What to do if you cant beat the 5 high board?

This is my solution. Villian plays a lot of pots. Has a massive tendancy to raise with nothing, call with nothing and fold the river in huge pots, hence my river bluff.

Sorry, didnt have any PT stats. Was playing from my GF's computer - which doesn't have PT installed

This guy puts in almost 20% of his stack just to fold on the river for just 2 more bucks, in a pot half the size of his table BR?
Follow him around wherever he goes is a good idea.

good play

I think you played it correctly, and you obviously knew your opponent's habits.
Even though you can't beat the board, with a low two pair out there, he probably couldn't either (or at least no better than an A or K kicker). Considering the fact you've been bet/raising at every chance you get, even a reasonably good player has to put you on an overpair, and fold to a river bet.

And, yes, make sure to play in any game where this guy is on the table!

Anyone that consistantly goes call, call, call, fold i sobviously a superdonk and you should play with him as much as possible. Maybe you can retire early.
