Bryce,
I used to ascribe to the philosophy that "if it's breakeven EV wise it's always better to be a pain in the ass by raising" for metagame reasons etc, but after playing a high volume of hands in that style IMO it makes variance a tremendous headache, and opens you up to being outplayed in a large # of marginal situations by overaggro or very insightful players.

I do think a calldown is better than a raise here, but never underestimate the value of frustrating your opponents.

Absolutely. I have no qualms about doing so HU or 3h where i'm going to clash constantly with my opponents, I want them to always be worried about getting raised or c/r'd and want them to feel like it's going to be really hard to steal my pots. I find this metagame utility is greatly diminished in a 6max setting where even if he's 2-3 to your left you wont be butting heads with him often enough.
