I see this reasoning a fair amount, but I disagree with it and do the opposite. I raise a little less than normal when I know I'll be playing the hand oop, because I don't want to build a pot in poor position. I understand you don't mind taking it down pre-flop, but with 100BB eff stacks, I don't think most players are folding pre-flop b/c of an extra 2BB. And a good player knows they can afford to call bigger raises in position. If you get two or three callers, or the flop comes down like this, you're glad the pot is smaller. Obviously it's table/player specific, but with no reads, I like a raise smaller than 4xbb+1bb/limper here. I'd make it $5.
