Your equity must be realized having a player call you bet to have it be of any value at all.
These MAX VALUE bets are only getting called with worst hands less than 20% of the time - on the river.
So much ADDED-VALUE is being lost with with greedy plays rather than slow milking your opponents over a few hands.
If your opponents significantly fold to larger bets than you should definitely size down with your value, but that also means you should be over-doing large bluffs until they adjust and start calling. If they never adjust then you're in a honey pot, congrats, print money.
You have to consider the math though. If 200% pot gets called 20% of the time, and a 50% pot bet gets called 75% of the time, the 200% pot bet is still profiting more.
