Default The infamous river bluff

Villain has a backwards playing style: he seems to call down when he has something, and c/r or bet with nothing. But he never seems to fold until either someone reraises him, or he gets to the river and has nothing. He has c/r'd me twice in this session and one time showed down Q-high and the other time a small pocket pair.

Final Pot: 6.20 BB

Comments on all streets welcome, but I'm hoping to discuss the river raise bluff. Btw, I don't ever do this. Normally I think river bluffs are a mistake; I just really thought villain was out of line and the pot was small enough for villain to let go of his hand pretty easily.
