I brought this topic up because I watched a fast forward version of one of the online pros at two plus twos complete hand history of one the million guarantees on Stars where he finished 5th.
And he made this play on a few occassions and was able to gain a lot chips at certain points with very poor hands.
As an example,
blinds 400/800, his stack was 31k, opponent M+2 with a stack of 41k raises to 2400. He has K7 suited and is next to act and pops it up to 7200 with two players behind him and two blinds to go through as well.
The opponent had just joined the table about 3 rounds earlier and wouldn't be someone I considered loose aggressive. When I saw him make the play, I was like wow...that's just a play I wouldn't make....but it worked.
Anyways, if anyone is interested...here's a link
you have to sign up to the site to view it...but it's well worth the time.
