yes, but varying your raises pf is one of the easiest things to spot in poker. a blind monkey can follow that one. i keep them the same. if i bump them, its a BB at a time. i used to do that, until my AA stopped getting action.
You're making the mistake of overestimating your opponent. If this guy is seeing a shitton of flops, he will call up to a particular amount (we need to find out what that amount is) - He's either gonna think "I have 56 (or whatever), you never know what might come out, let's see a flop", or "I have 56, this hand makes a lot of straights, let's see if I can beat AA".. Seriously, I play against these types all the time at 50NL; some of them you can charge up to 10bb to see a flop.

And anyway, you should be raising big amounts pre to isolate this guy.. If he's loose, he'll miss a lot, so let's build pots pre and take them away post.
i am not so much concerned about this guy seeing my raises varying in size. i get that he wouldnt notice, but others at the table may. and its them i want to keep in the dark, too.
