I think i've since plugged this whole, but early on I would raise bigger with hands like JJ, TT and 99 hoping to discourage action. And i'd raise smaller with AA, KK and QQ hoping to encourage action. Opponents catch on to this and you'll lose money.
Having just finished reading Harrington volume 1 for the 3rd time, he recommends that you should indeed bet more with JJ/TT than with AA/KK/QQ - because you want to encourage less action, and get a better read on what hands your opponent has. With AA/KK, you want to encourage action and not discourage it.

AA with 5 people in the pot is nice.
JJ with 2 people in the pot is nice.

Reverse these hands/numbers, and it's not so nice.

What do others think?
