Default What do these tiny little bets mean?

4/180: Villain seems tight and solid, has been among the chip leaders all tourney.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP2 (t1832)
MP3 (t34491)
Hero (t12777)
Button (t16131)
SB (t7555)
BB (t9117)
UTG (t9372)
UTG+1 (t3986)
MP1 (t7210)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1200</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t1000, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t2400) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

FD, A7ish hands, set trying to set a price or induce a raise.

Turn's a shrug, but are you hoping to win with A high here? Be pretty sick if you could. Could raise to 3.2k and see what happens, but I'd be inclined to fold and find a less weird spot with your stack. You're not even ahead of 22 here.

third pot out of position on the flop, fifth pot out of position on the turn, solid villain...

I would think this means this guy is not afraid of the flush.

I would put villain on AQo with the spade ace, or pocket 7s, or a pocket pair between 7 and q with a spade.

On the turn isnt this guy down to a 5k stack, with 4k in the pot, and he bets 800? That just has to be a pot sweetener.

I walk away.

These are situations where I try to get to the river as cheaply as possible to see what he had when he was doing all these little bets. If the guy makes a big value bet on the river, then it is obvious what he was doing the whole way.
