Do you think a smaller bet is more likely to string him along? Is it to do with betting less in case he raises?
Keep in weaker hands like Kx or worse Ax. Smaller bet on the turn will make your value bet/blocker bet on the river smaller so yes if you get raised on the turn you can dump it without risking as many chips. If you bet too big on the turn villain may not be interested in his hand if it's weaker than yours. Keeping the pot under control with you have a marginal top/pair type hand is important so you don't end up having to stack off on the river.
