bet sizes to maximize profits, and minimize losses (intresting)

Then, for the times they do hit, how will you avoid putting more money in the pot to justify their call? Are you going to check/fold every time a scare card comes maybe? Also, do you see how this will further restrict your ability to value bet on later streets? When the third heart peels off on the turn, it's going to be more difficult to know where you stand. C-betting half the pot certainly won't chase off a flush draw... ok, so now you have a k-high board with AK and are getting action. Now you're guessing.

So what sort of a bet are you going to make on a flop like this? over-bet pot sized? and what about when the flop is pretty dry, something like K,8,2 rainbow. Would you agree with a 1/2 the pot bet? How does position and players in the pot affect your decision here?
