i assume there's very rarely a 3-bet preflop so raising more often with premium hands is optimal. you want to get the pots as big as possible for when your premium hands hit great flops, and limping doesn't do that. and because you're not getting 3-bet pre, you're not forced to give up on flops you'd otherwise be bet out of, because you'll always be the preflop aggressor.
i mean yeah information is important and all. but if you're in a game where people don't fold preflop to a raise then the information you give away with a raise isn't nearly as important as raising with an equity advantage.
