I heard this from some pro a few years back and thought it was crazy... but it turns out you can get some good results if you follow this rule, whenever you bet.
Now, obviously, it doesn't mean you throw caution to the wind and get involved in every hand; that raising will be some magic bullet. Nope! You must have cards in your range.
However, the point is that it's good to assert yourself at the table. Make others fold, or really think about their hand before they call.
But what if they re-raise, you ask? Well, then you just got some good information about that player's hand. And you can determine what's best from there.
The other aspect of this rule is that you must NEVER be the first to shove. That's the worst. There so much more to gain with a simple raise, and you don't need to risk your stack.
Criticisms and comments welcome. I love to read feedback from you guys.
