Make them pay their whole stack to call.

Edit: There is another option that I use but don't recommend, and that is to wait until the turn to push.

If you mis-use this concept, you'll do more harm than good.

He will probably be begging loose change at pokerstars final tables soon. Console yourself with that thought.

You nailed it right on. Make them call your whole stack on a 4:1 shot. If they never drew out every fifth time they'd never call the other four. I like to exploit pot odds on the flop, where the pot is small enough it looks tempting to call that gutshot, but oh so incorrect into my pot-sized bet. Wear your bad beats like a warrior wear his battle scars.
