I realise that we're obviously not dealing with a professional here but you can even get the donks to lay these hands down with a significant amount of aggression. You tried to push the idiot off of his marginal holding but you didnt commit to it. You made a fairly weak bet on the flop and turn and then just gave up on the river.

I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure he would lay it down or anything but it doesn't look like he's going to lay it down without a significant amount of pressure. Either go big or go home. Bet the pot (or close to it) on the flop turn and river or don't bet at all.
