I think it's marginal at best. With deep stacks it's a good hand to bust someone with a big pair. But you're calling 10% of your stack with a hand that you'll probably only play 10-15% of the time once the flop comes. Plus, you have two others left to act behind and you'd hate to bleed off 10% of your chips if you have to fold to a re-raise.
