The river was the T , double-pairing the board. Perry bet.

Perry's sudden river bet made no sense after just calling my turn-raise. </font>
With a ten or a six he would have probably three-bet the turn. So I called and won a $560 pot as Perry showed a pair of fives.

I can only 100% agree, that you are not folding.
(* I am only speaking of the action after the River Card, anything before that is already *)
I can see why the bet caused a bit of confusion, but doesn’t that bet tell you exactly what he has. (1) Perry is trying to buy the pot or (2) he has Tx, thinking AT – T9 (but not TT). From the way you described it, option (2) is the not likely.
I am pretty sure that I would have called there too, but isn’t a re-raise more appropriate? You are quite sure you have the best hand, at worst a split pot or did the leading bet on the river make you think that he was sitting on AA-JJ or T-x?
