Re: A question about equity
I think it is a decent assumption that the typical opponent will never ever fold a pair heads up. So the point of betting when a "big card" hits in my opinion is not because he will think "Uh oh, I had better fold my small pair because an Ace just hit and it is likely that the preflop raiser now has a pair of Aces". I think the reason it is good to bet the big card is because often he called the flop bet with one or more overcards which are no longer overcards because of the turn card.
So I guess it is not so much the sheer size of the turn card as it is the distance between the top card on the flop and the turn card.
