It needs to be played strongly on every street, unless the scare card hits, then you shut down.
I used to think like this. But with that dangerous of a board, what worse hands is villian going to call a large flop raise with? By simply calling, we get value from all those hands in villians range that he will continue to bet and that we currently beat.
