Yeh, but you may want to get action from someone other than the whale. Also people can call multiway with pps and maybe decent suited cards. If they know you have 99+/AQ+ or maybe specifically QQ+ or KK+ and can maybe narrow it down further based on how play postflop, then they can play speculative hands profitably. Then they can win a huge pot from you when your overpair or TPTK is no good. If it is obvious you have a mid to high pp or big ace, then they can bluff you on boards really bad for that range.
I don't mind raising big or varying sizing, but you want to have a mixture of different types of hands in your range for that sizing.
