If we are in the SB I agree that our sizing should aim to induce folds in most cases.
All hands that limp from the SB are weaker than ATo unless it is an attempt to limp/re-raise. I would much rather villain folds pre-flop than play it out. But if we are going to play it out I have no problem making it a bigger pot in position when we know we have a better hand. Also, it means a lot of hands that will be ahead if the flop doesn't hit our range like A rag or 64o will be out so the range loss won't be so bad.
Also, I agree with Nath to make it 3.5x preflop and not 4x because we have only 33 bb's. So 10.5k not the 12k I initially said (its funny that I missed this because under 50 blinds I will make it 3.5x, under 100 blinds I will make it 4x and over 100 blinds I make it 4.5x...)
