I like the idea of planning the hand around commitment, but I would add another reason for raising bigger pre-flop is simple value.
Villain has demonstrated a tendency of limp-calling. We're crushing all of his holdings, and he isn't going to fold. Value opportunity. I might even go to $35 here.
We're not always going to have an opportunity to stack off. And when we don't, it's nice to make an extra $10. It seems like a small detail, but that's really the kind of stuff that adds up to a few extra BB's per hour.
