Sorry, but this is so wrong. :)

- Half pot betting =/= slowplaying </slight nit>

- Whether hero bets half pot (well, probably slightly over half pot or 468 times the pot, villain does not have odds to draw to the flush.

- Flush draws will miss more often than they hit. Betting enough to keep villain in the hand, but not giving him correct odds to draw is how you will win the most money from these hands in the long run. If you bet 3/4 pot and villain calls, he is making a mistake. We make money in poker from other people's mistakes. By hugely overbetting, hero is not giving villain the opportunity (unless he's a megadonk) to make this mistake. No mistake = less $$$.

What you're saying is akin to someone saying "Always just push allin preflop with Aces so you don't get sucked out on", and that's just daft. :)

I agree with you regarding the amounts though. No matter what limit table I'm at, I always think in terms of BBs, not $ amounts. For example, $100 is nothing to many people, but others would bite your hands off for it. If $5 is all someone has in their poker bankroll, then that $5 is their very being, their existence in poker, and they're likely to treat it accordingly.
