Doyle basically discusses Game Theory in NLH in that chapter. He has no formal education, but he is probably the leading authority on that subject.

Indeed. Anytime I want to have a chat about zero sum games I call up Uncle Doyle.

It does, but it's even more confusing if you vary your bet. Then people waste energy trying to figure out what you're doing, distracting them.

doesnt always raising the same amount with every hand have the same affect?

The thing about Harrington's method is that the %-ages around which you distribute your 3-5BB raises vary depending on the hand that you have. What that does is ensure that with AA or KK 3BB is the majority, which makes sense because you want some action with those hands. With TT, you will be raising 5BB or 4BB more often than with AA or KK, thereby discouraging action. So it's random within a certain strategic framework.
