What do you think?

Don't bluff the river. Everything else is okay.

I cant beat my opponents board, so bluffing the river is my only chance of winning the hand.

He has eights and at this limit I see him calling. I think he probably either rivered two pair or has something that he thinks is worth calling with.. Overall, I think the bluff on the river won't do much.

Don't know how you came up with that but I also agree that bluffing the river is probably wrong. With no real low draw, I imagine he's hit two pair some times here on 5th or will have by 7th.

Also,

went to showdown 23 out of 39 times, AF = 0.65).

That is exactly why I showed his stats, as I realized after that he would be calling me down with just about anything, which he did, a pair of eights...

I've only begun using PT for hold'em.. not so much for my game, but to use w/ game time. do you find the PT for stud worth it?

I think all three have been worth it, to keep accurate results tracking, to analyze your game afterwards, AND for knowing players tendancies using gametime or some other program.
