Default Varying your preflop open-raise in NLH depending on position.

I play 6-max NL games daily online and I have a habit of always raising pot(3.5BB) if I open with a raise. Most ppl make a 4BB raise and some do a 3BB.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to start raising smaller in EP and more in LP? If you do get called when you raised from EP the other player usually have position on you trueout the hand(if he ain't in the blinds) but if your LP raise gets called you are usually the one with position.

It would be like when you build pots with strong hands but try to keep them small with mediocre. It's the same concept but you build the pot when you have good position insted of when you have good cards.
