I tend to never do this, and I am wondering if it is something I should be doing more often.

Only at the monopoly money tables ($10NL and lower). Once you reach $25NL it starts to play like...well, like a poker table. At these stakes you can overbet the pot preflop, flop, turn, and river and still get called by 2PNK and crap. You've got no folding equity, so you might as well take advantage of it when you hit a big hand.
