i abuse the pot button. given the villain you describe and momentum of the match, you will likely get called by a wide range of hands. if you check or make a small bluff-inducing bet, the range of hands that villain bites with is narrow, making this line is less profitable than leading. also, leading a different amount than pot might set of alarm bells, whereas betting pot makes it look like you are making a play at an otherwise chopped pot. while leading seems to be the best course of action, the amount is, of course, situational, and depends on the ebb and flow of the match.
