Ive had some success with this play in the right situations. Often, if I am certain my opponent has a missed draw, and I have position on him, I will fire a simply insulting bet. He knows he cannot call as there is 0% chance he is ahead, and folding to a bet like that would be embarassing to him and show everyone at the table what a fish he is. Whats his only option if he wants to go out like a man? You got it. He pops me and pays me off.

This isn't considering a small multiway pot, this is HU where villain has been fishing + missed and you are fairly certain of it. If action is multiway check check check on all 3 streets, someone might call your tiny bet with a tiny piece of the board, and this would be a value bet. You could likely bet much more and get looked up by worse holdings. Then again, I hope it didnt go c/c/c on flop and turn if you had any of the hands you described [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
