If I used the old "small bet to induce a bluff" line on a strong player in the past, and it worked, I am much more likely to make this same move with a semi-bluff in the future.
Since the most common hands for me to make this with (when I'm trying to induce a bluff) are nut-flush, full-house, set on drawless board, the line shows a ton of strength, and may make him lay down a lot of hands. If he just calls, well, he let me try to hit my draw for cheap.
Whether I do the weak-lead/fold, weak-lead/3-bet or weak-lead/call c/r, bf, b/c b/rr, etc. depends on my hand, the player, my read, stack sizes, board texture, etc.
