23E (The clip for this tell will not work for this script. I don't think I can rewrite the script to match the clip either, because you're not allowed to actually touch someone else's cards. The clip should have shown the bettor tossing chips and looking in the direction of the weak player, not touching her cards.)

An attempt to make the stronger opponent feel insignificant in this pot.

It seems reasonable that the woman's hand at right contains garbage Ñ possibly a failed straight. Ask yourself why the player would be reaching way across the table and betting into the weaker-looking of his two opponents. This guy's bluffing. He probably holds something like a pair of kings. Suppose you were the middle player and you wanted to be called. Say you had a hidden full house. Would you reach halfway to Cleveland to threaten a player who doesn't figure to call? Well, neither would this guy.
