Sometimes Smaller Is Better!
Level 7
: 300/600, 50 ante
Sometimes your opponents expect you to move all in so betting smaller completely throws them off course. Nicolas Levi just played a hand that showed this perfectly.
On a board reading 
and with around 12,000 in the pot, Levi bet 5,000 chips, leaving himself just 6,000 behind. This visibly shocked his opponent, weho clearly expected a shove. The play worked as Levi's opponent folded, leaving him to stack up 23,000 chips and giving himself a little more room to play
