I've never even thought about considering this line.
Me neither. Small pocket pairs play well in heads up AI situations but really badly after the flop. Personally I can't see any other move than AI or fold preflop here (and I vote for AI).
Well, Fnord's line as some merit. Even if he spikes a pair and calls, he was probably calling anyway.. so why not let him miss or get his mid-pair scared. I think it is something that I may add into my bag 'o tricks sometime. However, most of the time I probably just shove over here.
