Yeah, this is something that Chris Ferguson has noted in repeated contexts/places. From[URL="http://www.bluffmagazine.com/Magazine/2006_12_054.asp"] this[/URL] article:

"Chris explained how “mixing up your play” did not mean playing similar hands different ways. It meant playing different hands the same way, folding or raising a specific amount independent of the hand. One of the most important considerations in executing poker strategy, he explained, is keeping opponents from knowing what you have. Playing all hands the same (e.g., with 50-100 blinds, raising in late position to 300, whether you are playing 8-7, 4-4, or A-A) accomplishes that better than playing the same hand in different ways (e.g., with 50-100 blinds, limping with A-A 20% of the time, raising to 250 20% of the time, and raising to 400 60% of the time). “If you fold or raise the same amount, your opponents are going to have very little information, because your raises never vary and you make them with a wide range of hands.”
