I am an advocate of uniform BTF raises. I raise 3x the BB regardless of what I have. Good luck putting me on a hand.
Once we get past the first few levels I almost never will enter a pot with a limp either.

Many other tournament players follow my strategy (or I follow theirs). I disagree that a 3.5x raise precludes
your opponent from having AA or KK. Not everyone limps or
miniraises with these hands.
