Interesting, since I would think making a large river bet would make a thinking player more likely to call than if you bet that smallish amount. If he was a thinking player, he would assume that with such a small bet that it is unlikely for you to be bluffing considering he will be getting good odds and a large bet would be what he would assume you would bluff with. Against lesser thinkers I think betting small is better because they'll just think of pot odds and mindlessly call.
Or maybe he would assume a bigger bet would be a value bet because he is a level ahead of you. Mind games are fun.
