Is information being gained from betting 85% rather than 55% pot here? Yes it is.. However, gaining information is by no means the purpose of the bet, its more of just a supplementry benifit. My previous responses to this topic outline the real reasons for making a larger flop bet here.

No I'm not necessarly betting to make him fold here.. Im betting to put more pressure back on him and charge him to peel with his specualitve hands as there is already a decent chunk in the pot.
It's true that were not in the best shape if villian continues here, However I am by no means giving up on the hand automatically when he continues. I would muck to alot of valuetype lines he may take, I may look up some oddball line that doesn't add up here, and I may sneak a thin valuebet in on a later street. All of these options are very read dependent, and I believe a larger flop bet makes these very difficult reads a little bit easier.
