It's an advanced move if done intentionally, but this line will often occur when certain circumstances occur:

LAG raises pf with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], and is called by a tag. Raggy flop that he misses, but he's got a gutshot + backdoor draw. He checks through cause this TAG likes to c/r flops, and picks up the nut flush draw. Great! TAG bets, he raises his nut-flush + gutshot because TAGs can fold stuff.

This is only one possible scenario, but I think it's worth taking a line that gets us to showdown more often because we're letting the LAG hang himself with his aggression.
