Simply advertises low to mid pockets IMO. When any halfway decent player pulls this I immediately a) lose respect for them and b) can read their hand like a book and use it against them by pushing them off unimproved pairs or folding to obvious sets with hand I'd otherwise give action with.

If you were at a table where you really thought none of your opponents would pick up on this tell, by all means, go ahead - 90% of the time these silly little raises just get called down by the rest of the table, jucing the pot.
