Raise 3x from any position. More if there are limpers. If there is a 3x raise, raise THAT raise 3x. Open-pushing and open-raising 10x or more is just stupid.

Poker is a game where you WANT people to make a mistake. If you raise 10x, there is less opportunity for your opponent to make a mistake. For example, most people would fold 87s to this raise, but not to a 3x raise.

Also, "no set, no bet" is idiotic, especially when you flop an overpair. Most of the time, your opponent will have just a pair on the flop. You want to stack your opponent if you have the opportunity.

Following your advice, you would lose the least if your AA/KK is cracked, but you also make the least when it holds up. This is pretty bad, since 80% of the time (an estimate, against lower pockets or JTs or something), AA and KK do hold up.
