Default raising kk aa pflp

When I pick up aa kk lp or any posiition for that matter I play my standard raise. Alot of times though it makes every fold. My standerd raise is 3 times bb. I raise a extra bb for every limper. Should I raise less with my big pairs to get more action? Obviously if I were to do this I would alo doit with weaker hands to give away info. Just would like some comments. Im trying to master this MTT I appreciate the help and good information on here.

its fine to do that, sounds like you need to raise more pots though. loosen up your range

Well I dont raise alot when blinds are small. Once blinds get to be about 100-200 I start raising every pot I enter. Early on Ill play alot of hands and not enter for a raise and play for big implied odds. But yea I guess if i was raising lighter early on I would be getting alot more action.

Don't worry about not getting action. If they fold, they fold.

Better to win a small pot than lose a big pot.

You're being results oriented. Eventually people will start picking up hands and start calling/playing back at you. But loosening up your range does help...I like to wait till the blinds get bigger or antes kick in though.
