Iceman says, "They would never call a bet with a missed draw of course."

Right. They're in a raise or fold situation, as it were.

I just had this weird thought. I'll throw it out there and let you all crucify me for being such a dunce.

What about a minimum bet to induce a bluff on the river?

Exact same situation as above, but now you have position on the other guy. You are pretty sure you have the hand won. You would love to check to try to induce a bluff, but you are last to act. He checks to you. You think a value bet probably won't milk any more $$ out of him. So you put in a very very small bet, even a minimum bet (say $1.00 into a $50 pot) -- trying to look weak while also giving him another chance to act. You're hoping that he smells weakness in your pathetic bet and makes a bluff at the pot.

If he's on a busted draw he doesn't want to call any bet, but how can anybody fold for $1.00? And then if he's calling, why not bluff?

Theory: Give bad players as many chances as possible to make mistakes.

Stupid idea? Thoughts?
