Such as?

Our opponents are going to pick up hands. Imagine their delight when they have AK or QQ+ and we're limp-reraising in EP with junk. Suddenly we are the ones stacking off with weak top pair hands and they're making money on us.

Yes, but this isn't "exploiting" us. If we were to raise they would still play 3-bet those hands and the net result is the same only now we are putting in th 3-bet.

I don't think Sunny is saying that you will always make money by doing this. He is saying that against the range that our opponent will raise/call with this approach will sometimes be better than raising and being OOP with an SPR that is in the danger zone.

Basically, sometimes the pros outweigh the cons.
