Limiting the betting to maximum of 1 round for 2-999,9999: since you know you dont have the nuts but the other person may you try to limit your lossess as much as possible. On average you will beat your opponent half the time and he will beat you the other half. Should break even in the long run.

This strategy is easily exploitable and is an obvious loser. The statement "Should break even in the long run" is incorrect; the times you're calling a bet you'll be behind a lot more often than 50/50; the times you're ahead, the action will go check/check and you'll win less than you lose in this range, on average. The bets you win on the nuts hand will not nearly make up for the huge number of bets you lose here, one bet at a time. Calling a bet with this many low cards is terrible.
Also realize that a strategy tailored to exploiting this one will ALWAYS fold to any bet or raise, as that means you have the nuts, so you will make almost nothing the one time in a million that you have the nuts.
