It is as simple as that when the bet is an all-in bet, so that there will be no further betting on the next streets. Where you are mistaken is that you don't want to "prevent callers". In a cash game, you want people to call with a worse hand than yours (yes, even if they suck out on you sometimes). And you try to size your bet or raise high enough so that they will call with disfavorable odds (but not so high that they will fold their worse hand).
The only time you want to "prevent callers" is when you are bluffing. Then you want them to fold a better hand than yours.
Here are a couple of threads to get you started:

Also, read Sklansky's "No limit theory and practice".
And as luck! said, better post actual hands.
