I wouldn't be opposed to trying that here and there. Sounds interesting. I almost feel better limping it however, since no matter what pops up on the board, you can represent it against few opponents if they check to you.

When you raise preflop, you're allowing your opponents to put you on broadways that may be percieved as unimproved on a rag board. If you raise preflop, and a rag board 3c 7s 8h pops up, you might not be able to get your opponent to fold if they hold second or third pair. If you limped in they will not hang around if you bet pot from late position.

With a hand like A2 suited, I think you can get into a lot of trouble representing strength. You would certainly have to choose your battles wisely postflop.
