I'm not sure why people would think that seeing a cheap river is best achieved by putting more money in the pot and reopening the action.
The point is to mix this play in occasionally and play it like you would in limit. Villain bets $20 on the flop. If you call, hes going to bet $45-$50 on the turn. If you min raise to $40 he will check to you on the turn almost always so the turn only cost you $20 extra instead of $45-$50. Plus if you hit the turn, you will make more money over all most of the time because the pot is bigger.
Making a much bigger raise on the flop to try to get a fold is fine too. Its just not what OP is talking about here.
