Most of all board texture. If you have :kh4::jc4:on :qs4::10s4::9c4:, there are lots of hands that can call a big bet or raise. For instance the opponent could have :as4::5s4: or :jd4::10d4: or :9s4::9d4: or :qh4::10h4: or :as4::qd4: and so on and so forth, and these hands are not going to fold on the flop.
However if you have :as4::ac4: on :ah4::ad4::2s4: then you monopolize the flop, and most of your opponents range is going to fold to a big bet or a raise. So this is a good time to either check or just call to allow the opponent to either bluff or catch up.

This is related to the above, because the strength of Villains range depends on the board texture. On the first board its highly likely, he "has something", but on the second board its not.

In cash games you typically want to try to stack bad players, when you have the nuts. So in the first example you would use sizing, that allow you to jam the river. In tournaments its a little more complicated, since players tend to get risk averse near the bubble, and then you can sometimes get called significantly more often, if they dont have to risk their entire stack.
