Neither would I, but when we are the PFR with A2 and the flop comes 722 we need to think about how we can play our hand in a way that looks bluffy and FOS.
Villain can have a lot of medium strength overpairs that are going to face difficult decisions when we raise turn and bomb river. We wouldn't be doing that with hands like 99, TT and JJ and are repping a super narrow value range. Further, with all of the draws bricking it forces villain to bluff catch wider since a lot of hands we can raise turn and shove river with are busted draws that picked up equity on the turn.
If villain never calls a raise turn -> shove river line with worse than we can be raising ATC on the turn and shoving rivers. But that's not how poker works and we would be rightfully flamed for spewing.
