betting more on the flop/turn help define villains hand more/charge draws. also it creates a bigger pot for the villain to bluff at on the river as played.

This is what I'm looking for. Thank you, sir.

By the way, are you saying that it's a good thing that the pot is big on the river? I assume you mean that a big pot is going to encourage the guy to bluff more frequently on the river. I agree that this is good. He doesn't want to give up on a pot he has invested so much in.

However, along the same lines, with a bigger pot, the bluff is going to be bigger relative to my stack. That's going to make it a scary call for me.

eh this is one of the times that you didnt improve by the river
but the fact is a lot of the time you're not going to have just a naked mid pair. youre going to trip up or 2 pair up or flush and so a big pot is a good thing with a hand and a strong draw like this.
