Theoritically, I'd rather just raise more oop and less in position and not worry at all about my hand but rather my hand range

I'm strictly on carrotsnake's side here.

OOP, by raising more, we charge our opponents with what is usually a big hand, we make it less likely to get a multiway pot (which SUCK OOP) and we make it less likely CO/BTN (and MP if we are UTG) call, so we are more likely to have position, lastly, by building a bigger pot, we slightly negate the positional advantage.

As for raising smaller in position, this is something that caught my eye when samo used to say it in HSNL. He said he used to raise smaller, just b/c he was playing a lot more hands, so it gave him more room for manuvour
