NL 101: Betting the flop in 3bet hands

[jimpo]

"bet more on the flop"
"make closer to a full pot bet on the flop"

This might be the advice that is heard the most on this forum. Usually when you should bet the flop, you should make the bet closer to a full pot than say half pot.

But what about pots that were 3bet preflop and are already quite big? I usually bet these the same proportion to the pot size as I do in smaller pots. Should I? I guess I don't need to protect my hand as much against draws, as the implied odds are much smaller?

Are there any good articles / posts on this subject?

Example
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Button ($22.50)
SB ($26.15)
BB ($27.50)
UTG ($14.10)
Hero ($31)
CO ($28.85)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $1.75</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $7</font>, SB calls $5.25.

Flop: ($14.25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $12</font>

- should I have bet less or even checked behind? and why
- this is probably a bit bad example since we are most times waaaay ahead. How does this change if we have say KK,QQ,JJ, or AK on T high flop? If we are OOP instead of in position? why?
