Default Re: dumbest. question. ever. (preflop raise amount)

[ QUOTE ]
You should not raise any stronger with your better hands. You should be raising the same with all of your hands. Otherwise, people willl notice (even the fish at party will see you betting $2 with KK and $1.25 with ATs etc...).

I think that this is not true, fish wont notice. By raising mildly with AA or KK you are leaving money on the table and this is important.
I play at 200NL I almost always raise 20$ or more with my AA (sometimes I even push) and Iam making small fortune with this strategy (slightly above 40$ per hand). If fish have 22+ AQ, AJ they will play no matter how much you raise.
All consideratins like : "raising always the same amount to be difficult to read", "dont raise too much because they wont call", "4xBB + no. of limpers" are simply plain wrong in small stakes.

Best wishes
