Does a tiny baiting river bet ever work?

[JKratzer]

You'd have to be against a pretty aggressive opponent for this to work. I think much more often someone will look you up with a weak hand, hoping to catch you bluffing.

In situations like you described, with the right image, I like to make "bluff-size" bets. Say, 3/4 pot - full pot seems about right. This works out great if one or more of your opponents likes to make big calls. They think you're full of it and call with middle pair.
