I dont vary my bet sizes for value unless i need to, variation comes from checking behind sometimes with a pair where i might usually bet and betting draws and checking draws when it suits.
Ok I get this now and will integrate it to my game. But what about if I completely missed the flop (no draws for me, no high card)? Wouldn't it be better to bet a bit less, when there's no hostile draws on the board and you think it will be enough to chase them away?

Damn... this post has really been useful. I actually feel like I'm a donk, and why didn't I think of these (simple) things myself.
if you dont want to bet then check. Dont be afraid to check, and watch what happens when you check when you are expected to bet.
dont advertise your holdings through bet size unless you do so for value/information.
