Not really. Just represent an overpair or top pair, and if you're called, check-fold or perhaps check-call to the river. You'll very often either have the best hand, and you'll win the pot right there, or you'll have the worst hand, and your opponent will fold the better one (e.g., if your opponent has K-Q and the flop comes A, Q, 3 and you lead out with J-J).
You flop a set with 10-10 or J-J with the same frequency if your policy is to limp with these hands or raise with them, why do you say you'll win biggers pots if you don't raise preflop? The hands that will tend to pay off your set are the hands that will call a raise preflop. In addition, if you raise preflop with these hands, you'll win a larger pot on the flop if your opponents fold than if you hadn't, and so it seems that you will, on average, tend to be win a larger pot with a set of 10's or J's if you raise before the flop.
Another point worth noting is that, if you don't raise before the flop with these hands (10-10 and J-J), you'll often find yourself in the very awkward circumstance of having to play an overpair in an unraised pot. This can sometimes end up being a fairly costly situation, and is almost never a profitable one.
