The most important thing about this play is the opponent. There are many opps at 100 and 200NL who play solid but unimaginative. They have a basic knowledge of the game, know mostly when they're behind, and can generally make sensible laydowns. they like to put out block bets designed specifically to be 'move-proof' and so are happy to fold if raised. These guys are handpicked as not to stick around OOP with lukewarm hands.

The last hand is an example of where it can go wrong. It came down to the texture, a good read and some intuition that I did actually have FE rather than blindly snapping off a semi bluff just because I have outs. Not to say it isn't worth trying in a multiway pot because sometimes it's more convincing that way.
