Very similar to something I'd try. A combination of things - picking up (more than likely) a nice little pot, from a position a little less suspicious than the button (I especially like the loose/passive UTG limper in first (pads the pot...bolsters my 'must have a hand' a bit). I too sell myself on this move largely because my utter non-existance early. Also, only showing a monster or two (I'll go out of my way to show early for this very move later). But like you said, at times I give too much credit to how much they are paying attention. I would also like to have something a little more draw friendly - KJ, QT, T9s, etc. Another thing is to be concious of the style of those behind you. A LAG-donk's lack of ability to NOT call must be considered when making these not-quite-the-bubble well-timed pushes.
