Strategy: Chaging PF raise sizes according to position

[ElectricWaffles]

Hi all. I thought i'd bring this up, it's a strategy I read in 'Phil Gordon's Little Green Book'. Not having the book to hand I can't remember the exact page/chapter.

He advocated making different sized raises when you're first in and you're going to raise, based upon your position.

If I remember correctly he suggested 2.5-3xBB in EP, 3-3.5xBB in MP and 3.5-4 in LP. Obviously this is just a guidline and has got to changed based on the table dynamics, however his main point was. Raise a lesser amount in EP than in LP.

This seems to make sense to me because, on average, i'll be losing more/winning less when i'm OOP, therfore I want to be playing for smaller pots. Is this good poker thinking? What would be the arguements for/against this, as a rule of thumb?
