The Bizarre Tiny Bet Thread
Before the current Irie post I have oft wondered what the heck people have when they make a crazy small bet into a big pot. How about posting it in this thread if you see hand like this that goes to showdown?

Possibly KK. 5.50 players are weird. |

Re: The Bizarre Tiny Bet Thread
Cool.
He pretty clearly seems to think of it as a blocking bet. He did manage to see a cheap showdown with pretty close to the nut worst hand on the second hand. He didn't want you to bluff him out with a 48. |

Re: The Bizarre Tiny Bet Thread
micro, I think that on the lower levels, the mini-flop bet generally means one of 4 things.
1) A bet to take it down, as for some reason they've figured out that the multi-tablers can fold to even this sized bet. I see this often out of the SB. If you raise this guys bet, you almost always take it down. 2) A bet representing any paired card on the board. 3) A bet to scare off hands when the board comes QQ8 (or the like). I'd say 90% of the time, this hand is very weak. 4) A bet to build the pot when it's multi-handed and someone thinks their hand is the nuts, which it could be. |

Re: The Bizarre Tiny Bet Thread
ScubaChuck has it right. In my experience most of the time you will normally see these tiny bets into large pots generally early in the game. As ScubaChuck noted most of the time the bettor has a weak hand and it is nothing more than a weak bet. Early in the game you still have the new riff-raff who really don't know any better and put out these mini-bets. If they are still hanging around in the later stages I would imagine they are still betting the absolute minimum then also.
What is very nice about this unless these players are putting on a show is that you can normally move them off of most pots with a modest reraise. Most often their power hands will be way overbet and they will be extremely eager to get all-in with monsters and not value or mini-bet made big hands. |
