A little fun with the cowboys (KK .2/.4 PKR)

Hi everyone, have been playing for about a year but losing in cash games, so decided to drop right down to the Micro limits and re build my game, anyways this was a very fun little hand that I thought was interesting from a psychological perspective, played at PKR, i'm Boss10 (duh) and sorry I couldn't convert it because PKR is rubbish and not supported!:

After this hand the guy started laughing and congratulating me on the hand, then went on tilt and raised pretty much the next 20 hands all in...

Anyway, I was basically wondering about peoples opinions of psychological goading, whereas this was a different way of doing it, it seems to work, IMHO this guy wanted to put me in a position where I had to admit I was bluffing, because he was feeding his ego, so it worked. Anyways, would love to hear comments or other peoples take on other ways of goading your opponents.

dont do it in cash games - in tourneys sure cos they cant just get up and leave but trying to mess up a fish after he made some donk call is just as likely to get him to leave the table (taking his money with him) as it is to get him to go on tilt.
