since you're not going to make these moves with big pairs exclusively, you'll be building large pots with hands that tend to not want large pots. hands like AK like big pots, but not too big.

when playing deep and not in some kinda big pot/raising battle then giving odds are more about postflop hand reading and not paying off optimistic calls.

and you def do not wanna do that OOP (blinds) with non-big pairs.

raising the pot or slightly more preflop may be a good idea, however, 4 blinds +1 blind per limper is sometimes a bit more than the pot.
if you use pot control and only play big pots with bad players it works fine.
