soliciting a call, unethical?

Some $50 game a couple nights ago. I have the original buyin of $50 in MP while an EP player open miniraises. I raise to $40 by accident. By the time the action is around to him I say "I didn't mean to do that". He thinks and thinks and thinks even more, timer almost runs out and he calls [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img](how you just call $40 is beyond me).

After a Kxx flop appears and he pushes all in with AQs(no draw or pair) I say "I really didn't mean to do that but I meant to raise to $4 with my Kings".

Sleazeball or not?

Most of the time it will encourage them to fold, not to call.

I think it will encourage somebody with a brain to fold. Not a donk who is around 60/20 and open miniraises in EP.
