Not with 100bb stacks. Raise to build pots not the 4x+limper isolate and destroy raises. Building the pot a bit gets loose action, gives a post-flop pair more value, steals buttons and all sorts of other good things for you.

I want money in the pot pre-flop with hands like ATs. I'm going to hit more hands harder than the lemmings.
Well stated. I can also see the potential to committ weak opponents with bad kickers and such more often when you have more in the middle. I think what I'm forgetting is how newer players will lunge for larger pots as if money in the middle makes their cards better.
