Of course, since then I’ve learned that getting more than 5% of your bankroll involved at the tables at any one time puts you at risk of not being able to weather the downswings. In the case of SNGs, keeping your bankroll involvement around 2% is the healthy thing to do. In the case of MTTs, have a 100 buy-ins in your bankroll. This way, downswings won’t be able to get the better of you.

But sometimes (e.g. on final table with killer blinds) the only one way how to grow your stack. Even more dangerous is this strategy when you are short stack and every bad decision is putting you down. Not every player will slow down after your call. Some of them get more aggressive to push you out of the pot... and this could be your last all-in of the day if the river hits them. I agree that its quite dangerous.

I can say usable in online tournaments. Not in online cash games or even live games where you can read your opponent. Also for example KK can be crushed with any single ace on the flop if somebody else is seeing the flop eg. with AT. If I feel high possibility of such hand (and it is, because my opponent called my preflop raise) i should slow down. Quite interesting reading but maybe too much basic.
