Yes. that makes complete and utter sense to me. Except that I'll almost never run into a situation where I'll get to do the second half of the b/f. He'll never bluff raise the turn, true. But he'll very likely (if he's like the general pool of players I've run into at this level) seldom raise with the nuts, either. I know that's stupid and money-burning on his part, but it's hella common. 

But if you're saying more something like 'bet/stop putting money in' that might be a more realistic line. Because after he inevitably x/c's turn, we fold if he leads river and check back pretty much any river if he checks to us? Is that a reasonable analogue to a b/f line that might actually materialize if there were people to x/r'd for value in these games? 

OK, thanks. In this particular hand, that would have ended up being bad advice (which is of course why I asked.) But a quick check of my database tells me that checking the turn here is a bad idea, and that I get led into on the river a lot less than it feels like. But this is obviously a case of the occasional value-cut feeling worse than the steady march of winning lots of smaller pots.
