Default Making Donk plays to set-up Future Hands

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero ($112.05)
UTG ($43.05)
MP ($115.20)
Button ($6.30)
SB ($55.65)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds</font>, [Button raises to $3</font>, 1 fold</font>, Hero raises to $7</font>, Button calls $3.30 (All-In).

Flop: ($13.80) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: ($13.80) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: ($13.80) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $13.80
Hero has 8c 3d (two pair, eights and fours).
Button has 7c 9c (one pair, fours).
Outcome: Hero wins $13.80. </font>

I won the hand, but I'd post it even if I lost. Winning this hand is not the point of the play. I expect to be a 2-1 dog here on average, which means that bet has about an EV of -$3.00 each time. However, I think this is made up for the LAG/Donk image it creates for me. This is the cheapest situation I can think of to set up this image. I expect that it could lead to future +EV situations. Thoughts?

Standard. I make similar plays against shorties all the time.

Wouldn't bother with this kind of play myself. I make enough donk plays without trying to add more.

I doubt anybody puts a lot of weight on what you do against a short stack.
