Re: What does it mean when an opponent makes an odd-sized bet?
I work in a setting with a coworker who does this kind of thing when setting numbers on a piece of lab equipment.
Since ultimately the number is close, I asked her why. She said, "Its just easier and faster to type the same number 2 or three times."
I would guess that this is the mark of several things.
1) Maybe someone multitabling who needs to type fast. =>Possibly a good player.
2) Someone who is a bad typer or very lazy => may be a reflection of a lazy or bad player
3) Someone who is less interested in what they are doing at poker than something else => may be watching a movie or talking on the phone.
Look for other tells that it is a bad player and if you see them than try to exploit this a new piece of knowledge while betting.
