I read a strategy that is profitable at micro stakes using this tactic.

Basically buying in with approx 20bbs and limping then reraising with AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQs suited only and in a limped pot check fold if you miss the flop and push if you hit it (unless the board was single suited).

This was claimed to be very effective. I tried it a couple of times and it worked, but was just very boring. But it may work to grind out a bit of profit when desperate.

The article I think was buy Alex Scott called Short Stack Strategy in an issue of Inside Poker. Can't remember where I read it right now though.
