Since they play premium hands either try to bet them off the pot when they miss, or trap them when they hit.

Play tight and let them lead the betting. Trap them with a big hand. Occassionally call their weak hands.

pick up free cards when you are behind and trap them with draws. If you are behind and they raise, fold. Don't try to bluff or play position.

This is a bad beat. You were ahead and played it correctly. Keep playing this way with this type of plr.
