If you have a good hand, and bet big, you are playing it fast. So you might win the pot, but you also might not win a lot of money. If you have a big hand, and bet small, or check, you give the other players the impression you are weak, and they might bet more, allowing you to win more.

This was seems much lighter on details that the previous ones, and the occasional mistakes undercut its effectiveness. The Deal from Harrisburg is from 1983 not 1984 (as LIA pointed out).
