Agreed. Do not tip off your competition that you have a hand. Mixing it up in regards to how much you raise often gets newer players in trouble against experienced players...especially if they've been paying attention to how you play. Making a raise that is not your standard raise can be a huge red flag. That said, if you are reraised then you better fire back at them. Like XTR said, get your $$$ in before the flop.

Also agreed. Some folds are easier than others - four to the flush/straight. It's sniffing out those sets and two pairs that separate the men from the boys.
