i still dont think thats a great reason to pot the flop, because i just dont think this is a great flop to cbet on and not really one you need to pot, even with so many callers. hopefully they will likely be less likely to pull a move.

alternatively, you could even check the flop. protect your stack, but you might be risking the pot.

good thing this was on party poker then. just assume that if i don't include any reads...

I think betting 500 on the flop conveys enough strength, and the person who wants to bluff raise you with a worse hand here, well, you'll be getting his money later anyway.

Obviously, a premo pair could come from the SB, but I think they are much more likely to be calling you down.

so if a guy with a pair of 5's is feeling saucy and wants to semi-bluff at duck he still wins this pot. i don't understand your reasoning. maybe pop it big in a MTT but this is deep stack cash game poker, duck is better than that.

Betting 150 pf, then betting 2/3 pot on the flop is playing scared? You think you're going to be semi-bluffed a much larger % of the time if she bets 500 instead of 750? (Not being condescending, honest question... fwiw, duck believes this is true).

Also, I don't understand the second part of your post.

Edit: I think I'm just really wrong here.

I agree with you. 500 and 750 are both big bets which show great strength. You save 250 by betting 2/3 pot when you're behind because I don't think your hand can stand to call a check/raise. Given that any c/raise is going to be hard to fold to given the pot-size, I would not call a c/r of 500 nor of 750 and I think the 250 you save is worth SLIGHTLY bumping up the chance of a bluff.
