...you make a 1/2 pot bet giving them 3:1 on a draw. This is bad. Bet more. 450-600 is better.

Why so much? With one card to come a flush or straight has 4.5:1 chance. I thought 1/2 the pot would be enough.

If it's that close, most folks will call for the implied odds (i.e. you paying him off on the turn and river). You should give him a shot at making a little bigger error and bet like 3/4 of the pot. This defines his hand a lot better, too, because a call is either a strong draw or a monster.

Also, if he makes four times as big a mistake more than one quarter of the time he makes the small mistake, you profit more.
