Re: Using a big stack to gamble?

Concrete Example:
Blinds 25/50, Stack: 1800
1 Limper who got an average stack
You are on the button
Raise to 200 with any two?

Well, you've chosen the one level, IMO, where you could pull some tom foolery like this. I don't recommend this on levels 1 or 2, and it's too dangerous on level 4+.
In general, in tournament play, creative ideas like this are good and bad. Here you're risking 200 to earn 125. Not a bad risk/reward ratio.
I'm not advocating things like this, but I will sometimes do this with much fewer chips. (And something better than any two cards).
That being said, it is a rare move for me. These games can be beaten without such trickery.
