IMO 25%-50% of the pot doesn't discourage many draws. Why should it? 50% almost gives pot odds to chase a flush, and if there's any implied odds there (if you don't completely shut down when the scare card hits) they should chase draws for that price. I bet more in the range of 75%-100% of the pot on the flop. I may slow down a little on the turn since the implied odds aren't as high (50%-75%).
