Helmuth talked about it in his book. One player would join a ring game, raise in the dark before the flop for one full orbit, and then tighten up. The table often became wild and called with hands they wouldn't normally call with, even after the guy tightened up. He would usually lose a lot of big bets in the first orbit, but the damage to the other players psychologically had already been done.

Heck, I often do this myself at O8B limit to varying success rates.
