heres a nitpicky post.

raise pf to 1.25
pot flop

if someone is hanging around after that you are going all in. those small adjustments make big bets much easier to do on turn/riv without looking too fishy.

i dont think you scare many people away potting the flop, its almost expected of the pf-raiser.

edit - ok at least to 2/3rds to 3/4th of pot on flop
