Harrington on Bet Sizing

[user140525]

Sammy Farha limped from middle position, Mike Sexton over limped on the button, and Dan Harrington minraised from the small blind. Both players called to see the {7-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} flop. Harrington bet out 5,000 into a 600-chip pot. Farha and Sexton folded, and the whole table took a moment to tease Harrington about throwing out the wrong color chip. Apparently he intended to bet 500. Either way, the overbet worked to give Action Dan his first pot.
