Wouldn't a pokey bet be giving a flush draw proper odds to draw?

You should be more concerned about how a big pot hand pans out than giving incorrect odds to a flush draw. If you get raised on the flop you get a chance to push allin/make a huge reraise, which is excellent.

However, if you are just called, you will unlikely be moved off the best hand because your pokey bet makes it looks a lot like you have a draw; thus people will become more passive when a scare card comes - perfect.

NB: I am speaking of a bet of about $70.
