Default 5/10 HU live

Opponent is famous Atlanta live player Dave Woo. We decided to play some friendly 5/10 heads up. We each bought in for $2k, but we definitely aren't getting drunk and donking around. The mood is very serious. Here's a run down of Dave's game:

Pros:
--Outstanding physical live reader
--Fearless in every respect
--Creative

Cons:
--Prone to tilt which causes him to bluff too much and won't fold pairs
--Weak in some technical fundamentals
--Probably a bit to loose in general

He has $1800, and I cover. I've mostly been getting the better of him by showing down the goods when value betting or calling his bluffs. He views me as overly solid/tight.

I raise button to $35 w/ J7o and get instacalled.

Flop 2d2s5h ($70 pot)
I bet $50, he check raises me to $125 which means he has two cards. I re-raise to $375. He goes through some acting about wanting to fold, then wanting to call, then wanting to fold and finally calls.

Turn Td (Pot $820)
He leads for $300 pretty quick. I pause and call.

River Qh (Pot $1420)
He mulls and decides to bet $200, leaving himself with $875. I muck.
