Can you elaborate? I' m guessing that you'd want to bet more if you think your opp's on a draw, if there are more people in the pot, and in late position with a big stack?
And what's the " block bet on the river" that jackvance mentioned?
Board: If the board has possible draws you want to bet an amount that will give the other players bad odds to draw. Lets say you hold AQc and the flop is QsJs6h. and there is one opponent. You have TPTK but there are str8 and flush draws, you want to bet at least 2/3 of the pot. If the pot is 180, you bet at least 120, their chance of completing (assuming they are drawing) in the next card is about 20%, and they have to call 120/300 >20% to chase.
Number of people in the pot: The more people in the pot the more you have to bet to scare the draws, since each person that calls give the others better odds to draw.
Stack: If a bet (lets say 2/3 of the pot) makes you pot committed then you are better off pushing or folding most of the time.
