key point... it's rarely correct to try and get cute with your bet sizes in an attempt to lure people in. this is often incorrect mathematically (i.e., you're giving people correct odds to call) and almost always strategically (people who will call a less-than-pot bet will almost always call a PSB). the main exception to this is on the river, esp when you're holding the nuts. at that point, esp. if the pot is big, a smaller bet may be called for. the smaller bet can be used to induce a call or induce a bluff. when you move up in levels, it can also be used as a kind of reverse psychology bluff (e.g., his bet is small, he MIUST want me to call). anyway, don't be shy about betting the pot at lower levels... if they're calling, they're calling regardless of the size of your bet.

More reasonable answer: if you half pot it and one donk calls, then other sheep may follow (actually correctly drawing to the boat now). Trust me, they won't fold a set to a full pot bet. Most of them won't fold a lower flush draw either.

I have
![[As]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/As.gif "The Ace of Spades")
[Jd][8s][2h] and limp in late position. Flop is seen by 6 (pot 1.20). Flop comes ![[Kc]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Kc.gif "The King of Clubs")
[Qs][7d]. Checked around. Turn brings ![[Ts]](http://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ts.gif "The Ten of Spades")
(woot).. I bet .60 button calls and SB min raises to 1.20. Folds around to me, Should I repot it or let them draw to non nut flushes (and maybe full houses
