I think that it is a slimey trick very close to cheating

Betting the river? How's that cheating?
Here's the thing: I've seen plenty of morans who will fold to this bet. There's nothing 'slimey' about it.
Early in my online poker career I've also thought, "Well, I have the nut one-card straight and he just raised me on the river, we must be chopping so I'll call" only to see a hand other than another nut one-card straight. The lesson? People are stupid.
If the rake is capped in this hand, there is no downside to betting. Will he fold? I doubt it, but maybe it's that one time in a thousand.
(And I'm also curious about bottomset's question.)
