As for bluffing, well, a) the short stack may not have made a hand anyway, so your king or ace high could win the main pot, and b) if either you or the other guy don't have the cards to make a decent stab at winning, what the arse are you doing in the hand in the first place??
It's not a matter of gentlemanly-ness, it's a matter of +$EV that just happens to look gentlemanly.
