Zangief, I've moved away from having an absolute standard raise. My raises are meant to accomplish one thing: get many people out of the pot while building it. To that end, I have a standard amount, which I add to as more limpers are in. Typical raise for me is $3 (totaling $4). $5 is actually less of an adjustment than I probably should have made...$6 or $7 seems likely a better choice, and in fact when talking about the hand in IRC, I mistakenly thought I'd raised it to $6. Still, this method preserves the "hiding my hand" aspect of it, which I think is important, while acheiving the other goals listed above.
