The size of the pot always matters. It is one of the most important things to ever consider in the game is it not?

Not when you're looking at the money that will go in if you bet. Your draw will win roughly 30% of the time whether one person calls or all four. So you should bet if you expect to be putting in less than ~30% of the money that will go in on the turn, i.e., you expect an average of at least 2 callers.

If you figure to win more than your fair share of the time, you profit from each bet that goes into the pot.

The pot size matters when deciding between a call vs. a fold, not a bet or raise vs. a check or call.
