If you make a value bet with a smallish hand that you think is best, you are making a "thin value bet."
Wouldn't thinness depend on your opponent and the size of the pot?
For example, if there's 10BB in the pot and I am playing against a super loose dude, I probably could bte up to what, 3-5BB and still call it a value bet, whereas if I am playing against a nit I would maybe try 1-2BB?
