Re: Ways to induce a call??
Why not induce a bet or a raise?

I bet $40, intentionally overbetting, hopefully to get him to think I'm bluffing and that I'm challenging his statement that he has a 9.

Sounds like a line from rounders. Specifically, the opening card scene.
In the whole session have you ever made a move like that with anything else and got caught? Probably not. Apparently he read you like a book. Not many are going to call that anyways since many arent' betting that much on a 2 street bluff.
Bet less, or even check it into him and get him to bet. If you have him on a 9, then you don't want the flush to come because that will kill your action.
Think of how he'd have played the trips. He might've bet big, or checked it the whole way. Play it differently than he would. You had a great opp to simulate like you were on a flush draw. Also, staring at the table like a church mouse can be a good sign that you 'want' him to call. Even though you might do it 'all the time', he likely only sees it during hands you're involved in with him. Just a thought.
