I see this reasoning a fair amount, but I disagree with it and do the opposite. I raise a little less than normal when I know I'll be playing the hand oop, because I don't want to build a pot in poor position.
This is silly. What happens when you have 92o and you want to pick up the pot? You gonna make a small raise and get 2 or 3 callers?
Raising more when you are likely ahead or even crushing your opponents is always a solid play. BTW, raising a small amount = building a pot since you'll often get more than 1 caller as the pot odds + implied odds should be irresistable to your opponents. Building a pot with a strong hand that you might have trouble getting away from and that plays very poorly OOP is just bad poker.
