Even two moderate to fair players who are playing together effectively aren't going to be beatable, even by the best players. The effect of the collusion is just too strong. This is more often seen in limit play, but would surely be effective in no limit too.

I don't think there was any need to NOT embarrass these two, I think the OP did fine. They certainly knew what they were doing, raising and reraising a strong move with 53o etc.
