Re: clangs
it wasnt as much a feeling that he had nothing as a narrowing of his hand range to about 95% of all possible hands and the subsequent immediate realisation that "hey there's close to little chance he has a hand that really likes that flop."
one other thing is i think that shorthanded early in a session it's smart to play somewhat randomly when choosing between raising and calling with all hands ranging from weak to huge. the chances you will be getting in heads up situations repeatedly with the same players is strong so you can really exploit some seemingly "bad" play by you early on in your favor later. people are quick to make assumptions and slow to change them once made.
