I meant to imply all this when I said "If they fold too much, fine run them over." But my comment was geared towards playing against good players who won't fold too much and who will call re-raises loosely since they will have position and know that you are re-raising lightly.

If you do this with the right stack sizes OOP, then if they call preflop, the continuation bet will in effect be for their whole stack although it may only be a smallish portion of yours. It really puts opponents in a tough, tough spot if they don't have AA or KK.

For example, in a 5-10 game if you have 1500, lets say good MP player opens for $35, button calls, sb folds, you decide to squeeze w/ random junk. If you overbet the pot OOP usually, lets say you raise it up to $150. Usually this will work, but if good player calls and others fold, you can bet $300 or so and it's really for opponent's stack, so the bet has a lot of leverage making the bluff work unless against a monster - and you should have a decently tight reraising image for this play as well.
