Generally speaking, in limit games I make pot-building raises BFT when creating a big pot will cause opponents to take foolish actions on the later (big bet) streets.

This I don't understand, because a bigger pot makes more calls correct later on. Please 'splain.

There are correct calls and incorrect calls, and of the correct calls some are more correct than others.
There are players looking for reasons to call, and there are players looking for reasons to fold. Players looking for reasons to call should be encouraged in their endevors. They will rationalize situations to make their plays +EV. Big pots help them to do so. Second nut low AND second nut flush? Even with the board paired, there's no way they can fold a 20 BB pot for 1 BB. And it may even be correct for them to call (think of how often 2nd nut low is good). But it may be even more correct for you to scoop them.
