Can i have some examples of when ';pot control' is a good idea?? ( NL Holdem)?

the main time to control the pot size by playing conservatively is when you have a fairly strong hand but the board is dangerous...for example you have A-K and the board shows A-10-5-4 with three spades, and you have no spades...in this spot, with the flush possible, you might want to slow down and check the hand, because you don't want to get called or raised and not know whether you have the best hand or not and play a larger pot than necessary...by checking, you might be able to play a little smaller pot and make the decision on the river a little easier
