A lesson in why you should not go against a big stack

[bluesbassman]

Weak fish here.

I don't understand why the SB only made a 1/2 pot sized bet on the flop, then called a raise and an all-in on the turn. I would have played this hand as the SB one of two ways, depending on my read of the villain:

1) Make a pot-sized bet on the flop, and push a raise.

or

2) Make a 1/2 to full-sized pot bet on the flop like the SB did, but check/fold if the villain calls/raises.

It seems inconsistent the way the SB played it... or is that my usual fishy thinking?
