I'm still not sure what these small bets mean. At the time I didn't think he had hit the flop. The bet of 60 on the bet made me think that I was behind but I still called because of the great odds.

Bleh, I guess this is OK given those bets are so small. Guess you could consider folding the river but that's tough to do getting almost 6:1 odds to show the hand down.

Maybe he was looking for you to raise ( weak is strong) betting or was unsure as to your calls.Perhaps he was value betting in a cheap way to insure you would call. These are a cuople of thoughts that went thru my mind about it.

I just give these up on the flop. With 2 connected and suited overs, and 2 opponents it's pretty unlikely we'll have the best hand come the river. Chip preservation always seems more important to me in these spots.
