i definitely raise 500 or less preflop

on the flop here in a standard 109 FO, i'm split between c/s and c/f, depending on my feel of the opponent. i'd definitely take a quick look at their pokerdb while making up my mind.

I don't have any problem with a raise to 500 or less, but why is a raise to 600 bad. The main problem I see with it is it puts you on a hand that is calling a reraise.

Keeps the pot smaller and gives us more space for maneuvering
