Occasionally I'll mix-up my open push here with a limp or min-raise, looking for a re-raise. This is covered in the opening section of Harrington v.II I believe, or maybe it was the first volume. This works especially well if you've got a read on the BB as an agressive defender.

Not often, but I pull it out maybe 20% of the time i'm in this situation with a very big hand (usually just AA, KK, sometimes QQ). It works especially well if you're right on the 10x threshold (and thus haven't been open-pushing as much, you've been making smaller raises in recent memory) and you can often get BSB to re-raise or even push over the top with very mediocre hands...

its certainly dangerous, but its paid off enough to be a strong part of my arsenal...
