I call putting in one or two small bets when I’m most likely behind and probably badly beaten, maybe even in two spots, expansive.

or innacurate.

I should have been more accurate myself - it’s not only that the information you get might not be accurate, but that it might not gain you enough to overcome the price you paid to get it. In this hand, a raise will make the pot so big that folding kings up on 5th could be incorrect and you are forced to chase. So you paid for information, but it didn’t change the way you played the hand. That is, you paid and got nothing in return.
There is a good article about his topic

The rest of my analysis
is based on the results, so? I offered my advice and then outlined how the hand would have played out, if the advice was followed. If you'd like me to give an alternate ending (for example, what to do when a player we thought would fold, decides to raise instead), I can do that as well.

Well, add these scenarios:
Seat 1 has trip deuces.
Seat 1 has two pairs.
Seat 7 has AA9A.
Seat 7 has 9A9A.
and whatever combination of them you wish.
