How Much Should you Bet? a world series of poker perspective
How much you should bet is not an issue in limit poker because the bet size is established by the rules. No limit is a different matter. Choosing a good amount to bet given the circumstances is an important game skill.
One school of thought among no limit players is that one should always bet the same amount so that opponents won't be able to glean any information on what you may be holding due to bet size.
Another school of thought holds that your bet size should be determined by how much you think your opponent will call (or won't call).
Maybe the best approach depends on the sophistication of your opponents. If you are playing against expert opponents who can read you like a book, then limiting the information they have about your holding is of greater value than against a group of players who pay little attention.
An approach that this author advocates for most games, is to make the proper situational play about two thirds of the time, and play deceptively the remaining third of the time. This allows you to keep your opponents from having a good read on you while giving you the benefit of proper poker strategy most of the time.
For example, if you have a medium to large pocket pair, two thirds of the time you would bet big hoping to drive your opponents out and "protect you hand". The other third of the time, you would bet small and play it as a drawing hand hoping to improve it, or hoping to entice a bluff from a player with nothing. Although this play will serve to keep your opponents off balance, sometimes you will kick yourself for giving an opponent a cheap opportunity to make his draw.
As another example, say you have a flush draw or a straight draw; two thirds of the time you would play it straightforwardly by betting small trying to keep other players in to improve your pot odds (this may not work against observant, aggressive players). The other third of the time, you would bet it big like a made hand hoping to either convince the other players that you really do have a big made hand and fold, or hit your draw and surprise them enabling you to collect a big pot.
