I did this just last night in a $1/$2 no limit live game. It was folded to me in the small blind and I raised to $6 with K-8 offsuit, and the big blind (who was a big fish, and who I thought may've been a little drunk at the time) called. The flop came 8, 8, 5, and I knew him to be the type of player who couldn't check even the most marginal hands (I had seen him betting and calling raises with high cards a couple times), so I checked to him, he bet $10, I raised to $30 and he called. The turn was a 6, and I put him on something like ace high or a 5, so I checked to him again, figuring it was very likely he'd bet again if he thought his hand was good enough to call on the flop. He bet $20, and I raised all-in.
(By the way, after thinking for a minute, he called the extra $30 or so, the river was a 7, and he showed K-4 for a miracle runner-runner straight.)
