Default Some heads up help

I play very well at limit poker. Especially short handed and heads up. Finally I started to study no limit poker. I started at full tables and learned the basics and within about 3 days I was so bored. I'm used to the short handed/heads up action. So I started playing heads up no limit and I am doing quite well, but I have some questions

The say generally you want to raise 3-4 times the BB in full ring. But if you are HU, SB on the button. blinds are 2-4, I feel that if you raise 3-4 times the BB your opponent folds too much and you only get called by a better hand. When I first started playing I was raising 14, but then I realized that this was too much, so now I am raising like 10.

What should I be raising?

I'd vary it to play head games with opponent (assuming you'll create an edge for yourself against this opponent by doing that).

It also depends if you'll have the button or not. I tend to raise larger from the non-button position to make them pay to see a flop w/ position. On average I think 2-3x BB is fine, with the occasional larger raise.

you gotta vary your play, limping in with anything, limp reraising, min raisiing, 3x raising, anything goes man.
