Value Betting Question

[VictorHugo]

I basically need someone to clear my thinking a bit about value betting...

When value betting should I bet more ie (something like the pot) when there are more draws and less ie ( something like half the pot) when there are less draws ..

or vice versa...

My thinking is that I want the draws to pay so if there are alot of draws I should bet more, but at the same time I find myself thinking I want these people to draw so I should bet less.

Note: I realize I should bet enough to not give them odds period, so thats not my question my question is more on when should I bet more or less while not giving them odds.

For this example lets say I am against one other player, because I know there more players are out there I should be more, or is that flawed too?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
