You're saving yourself a BB or two every time you raise and have to fold to a 4 bet here if you have trash.
I see your reasoning to squeeze to 11/12, but I suppose you would do it to $14-6 with QQ+, no?
I yes then we would easily be read once villains find that out ...
I wouldn't change my raise size based on my hand here....I want to have a wide a range as possible, and raising different amounts with different hands would narrow down my range, making me easier to play against.

If I decided to raise in this spot I would make it the same amount with my entire range, whether it is QQ/AK or J3.
