Usually we define bet sizes relative to the blind preflop and relative to the pot postflop.
I guess it's not too much if he's getting called by worse

When I have done this I was genuinely thinking, and it has almost always made everyone behind me check. Maybe thats what the bluffers are attempting.

Reaching for chips and then checking is weak as hell. When you see this, follow it up with 2 barrel bet and take it down more times than not.

Last time I did it I had top set. I was not trying to send out a false tell.

Flop comes Q83r. He reaches for chips, then decides to check.

My question: Is this always a tell of weakness, or could he do this and just remember "jesus, I could trap here, I'm first to act"?
100% weakness a lot of old limit players do this almost every hand they will motion a call before you act even though they want a check from you so they can check behind now they will usually call, but theyre hoping to get a free card by holding chips in their hand as if they will auto call its another one of those tilting obvious tells that makes you want to break their hand lol

idk why i get so mad at things like that Its equivalent to a flagrant foul in my eyes theres just no place for it,,,, I think it was one of those things taught in the 70s and was probably the norm then I just hate when players think they are being clever with some cowardice tactic especially at low buy in games,, angel shooting at 2-4 limit and $50 daily honestly wtf

Or, since they're so reliable in the fake chip tell, they're handing you free money and you can profit. If only they'd play higher...
