Re: 1/2 live hand - curious about a read/tell

Second, another huge mistake most 1/2 players seem to make is in bet sizing. Most of the players who are bad enough to totally give away their hands have no concept of bet sizing. They aren't going to bet $40 into a $60 pot. They're going to bet $15 or $25 or something ridiculously small. I feel like his bet of $40 should have changed things in my mind and made me question things a lot more than it did.

This is true, lots of players have [censored]-horrible bet sizing. But you can also take advantage of it by betting small amounts as bluffs against some of these guys. There are lots of people that see $20 bets as $20 and don't consider the size of the pot. So if you're going to bluff you might as well do it cheaply.
Often these bad players will either fold to both a $20 or $60 bet or call both a $20 and $60 bet depending solely on their cards. Nice and exploitable.
