I mix my raises up according to the table I'm at, the position I'm in and what bets have been made before me.
If I have AA or KK, I want to be heads up with somebody so I raise an amount that I think will achieve this. In EP this may be 6xBB, but in LP with no previous callers, I will disguise it as a blind steal at 3xBB.
If in LP with several limpers, i will raise 7 or 8 BB to make it look like a pot steal.
Actually, i have an annoying habit of raising seemingly random numbers, like $2.27 or $1.83 etc. I think this confuses people a little, especially when it comes to calculating pot odds. Well, it certainly aggravates them, judging by some comments get. Maybe it intices them to call, because it looks like a bluff.
I can see the benefits of raising a fixed amount each time, but this just seems to be a little too robotic for me. I like my poker to be fun and unpredictable.
YES WE HAVE A WINNAR!
