I've seen opinions that say you don't because it might make opponents fold, but is that right?

if worse hands are calling or better is folding (the latter is rarely true against many of my opponents)

Villain dependent on their range. I'm more willing to cbet a nit w/ QQ on AKx than I am a fish because nits don't call pre with rag Aces or Kings, but fish certainly do.
