It is completely opponent dependent in my experience. But my experience tends to be the opposite of yours. When a loose-aggressive player puts a weak-looking bet in I have found that it frequently means a strong hand. A lot of loose-aggressives think that the point of betting is to make you fold, so when they are betting an amount that is too small for you to fold to, it is strength--sometimes extreme strength.
Yep, that's why I said my theory seems to be badly flawed.
So - what do we do when faced with a weak bet? If this is so opponent-dependent then basically without a very solid read - we have no idea what's going and should be just playing our cards?
