Reminds me of that scene in Little Big Man where Custer says to Jack Crabbe, you want me to think that you don't want me to go down there. So in what he thinks is fair use of what he perceives to be reverse psychology, Custer goes down to the Little Big Horn and of course we all know what happened.

All humor aside though ----- I think it's worth exploring the possibility of doing the thing your opponent doesn't expect. I just don't know what that thing is.
