Generally you want to make a continuation bet of about 1/2 the pot on the flop. You bet about 5/6 of it. The problem with this is that in a situation like this or a similar situation where your opponent has even more chips your not allowing yourself to get away from the hand.

After the flop bet you had the right price to call but your flop bet is too big.

To be picky, the CB was actually 4/5 of the pot. I made this bet on purpose because I thought a normal sized CB stood too good a chance of being called, especially by the BB. I also wanted the player behind me to know that I had a good hand so he wouldn't try any kind of fancy all-in raise with some other overcards.

In case I had made my CB ~600 and the player behind moved all-in, I would have to pay 1550 more to win 4000. That is less than 3:1 pot odds and I would have a much more difficult call of his raise. Right or wrong?
