I really don't like "standard raises." [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I will often make a HUGE raise/reraise if I know the opponent will call too much(and I assume that it will be a mistake against my hand). I will sometimes sweeten the pot with PP's. I know this is dependent on hand strength, but if you randomize then you are going to get the best of both worlds.

I think it really boils down to what you want to do with the raise. The only reason for a standard raise is if things are standard. That sounds like I am being a smart-ass, but I think that words it best.

Please list some further randomizers that prevent you from being predictable. I mean, as stated, even a nit will figure out that pot sweeteners are small PP and big raises are the goods. Fundamental Theory of Poker is now in effect and you will be in trouble. I'm not saying that you are wrong or that your play is bad, I guess I'm asking you to enlighten us.

I think I know what you are asking. If this is not what you are asking then can you restate for me?

If you are going to make a pot sweetening raise with 22, then you also need to do occasionally do it with AA. I generally simply look for the same situation where I would make a sweetener raise with a worse hand, and then do it with a big hand a small percentage of the time.
