Pre flop bet sizing tell?

Have any of you guys notice that a regular pattern of large preflop raises 5x+ tend to mean small to medium pairs?


ps...would anyone fold the bottom of a straight flush?  I almost did...and it would have been right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it does at the $1 level, maybe it does not at the $200 level. If you are looking for answers, it might be easier for people if they know what level you are talking about.

Didn't mean this  post to be about a bad beat but, I'll post hand history here.  Guess I am even now.  Once beat a straight flush with a royal in Omaha 8.

About the bet sizing tell.   I have seen it several times.  Where guys are afraid to play a flop with those kind of pairs.
