I think 95% of the time I read "I checked for pot control" , or "you should check for pot control", the person is not actually advising you should check for pot control but for another reason, that they can't articulate.
This is exactly what I would say about pot control (especially the first paragraph):

In live poker it is better to bet the flop/turn and to check behind on the river and try to value town people as opposed to checking behind the turn and playing a river.

This is what I meant above when people call it pot control, when it's not pot control:

This is checking the turn because you think they will call wider on the river. Therefore, it's a EV maximization line, not pot control.

that being said you have to increase sizing in order to make up for the missed bet

Once you check the flop they put you on AK and never readjust that range. Of course, they put you on AK when you bet the flop to though, but will adjust that range when you bet turn.

Your call does not count. That's ridiculous.
