I would like to hear the opinion of other players. What seems to be the most effective in terms of a "normal" betting /raising strategy?

For example, some players like to open with a 3xBB raise, with an extra BB for every limper. Some like to bet the pot. I know it is situationally driven, but I can see convincing arguments both ways here.

Also, after the flop, is it more effective to bet the pot rather than trying to tailor your bet to the player, your hand etc.? I think by betting or raising the pot, you make it more difficult for your opponents to get a read on you.

Any thoughts anyone might have on this would be greatly appreciated.
