Bold comments above....in addition
Bdawg said most of it, but the point I think you are missing is the point of betting is to make players make mistakes by calling. 4/5s the pot is enough to make you make a mistake by calling on a flush draw, an even bigger mistake by calling with a gutshot, and an unbelievable mistake by calling with a PP below Queens!
If you have Ax, I technically want you around, so I want to make callable bets.
If you bet 2x the pot in any situation, you should only be called if you are beat unless you are playing at a very poor table. In which case you could of gotten your information cheaper
Edit: You are beign results oriented. If Nikita bet 200 and the player folded saying ok Im folding a medium ace good bet (and didn't see the turn or river), would you still think she bet the flop correctly?
