If you raise more than that PF, what are you going to do when the flop comes KQJ and your continuation bet that you have to make is 1/3 of your stack? (I don't mind this hand as is given the large-ish PF raise, but I'd bet the turn/fold to a CR and/or check the river, since giving him a free fourth club sucks.)
My default raise at the 100's has gone back down to 60 at level 1 and to 100/125 at level 2. I like smaller pots. It also helps me with hands like these (comments on the turn?)
