    yes, that is very backwards thinking. more callers requires larger raise/3bet sizes, to cut down their pot odds, prevent getting 15 callers etc.

    as for the second part, yes it is technically enough so they can't have a positive expectation to call with a naked flush draw. but betting more makes their call even more -EV, and they're going to call with the same range. basically you want to allow them to make the biggest mistake you can. calling your 2/3 pot bet is mistake, calling a 5/6-full pot sized bet is a bigger mistake
