Agreed.  Against a villain who isn't familiar with Pot:Bet ratio, all you do is pick up pot odds.  However these players are far and few between.
 
More often than not I raise to build the pot, because it doesn't make sense to play 3 handed for just over a big blind.  Sadly most of my raising hands fall into my calling a 3-bet range against deeper stacks.  Whole the SPR does go down, that just means I have to hit the flop a little bigger.
 
Perhaps this is a leak of mine.
 
If I'm not mistaken you are referring to the 35o hand vs the AA.
 
I'm not entirely sure, but I'm pretty sure I made it something like 5-6 BBs, and he min-raised, and there were several callers (calling stations preflop = pot odds) and I called to close the action, hit my pair with gutshot, and shortly after lost my stack.
 
Of course a simple solution to this would be not raise with 35o, and since that particular hand was at a home game, without having to worry about rake and what not, I could have easily folded, and believe under standard definition and EV charts I would be quite correct to do so.  However it may be the little bit of the gambler in me that still lurks...  Or all those juicy pot odds. :)
