Default Re: 20/40 Hi - Back to Basics: Is it worth betting into a small pot?

[ QUOTE ]
How is this game playing?

[/ QUOTE ]

Seat 8 is the big donk, though not involved in the hand. Seat 3 is loose-passive at low limits. i have never seen him play this high, but he was playing noticibly tighter than at smaller games.
Seat 2 is a fairly solid player. My big concern here was that it didnt make much sense for him to check his open pair on 5th when nobody was really interested in the pot it seemed. It just struck me as odd and I had a feeling he may have been sitting on a big hand, hoping that somebody catches enough of something to stick around.

My thought at the time was that the pot was so small that putting in $40 to take down $26 didn't make a lot of sense.

The reason I didn't bet 4th was that I really thought there was a good chance I was behind. Seat 3 had been playing real tight but passive and I've seen him limp in with low split pairs and just check-call them down. I could almost see his split 7s.
