But would you rather have the TP hand or the speculative hand? If the effective stacks are $150 and he makes it $8 and gets 3 callers, the SPR will be 4.5. So TP will have a hard time getting away, and meanwhile speculative hands got pretty awesome 21+ IO. Although admittedly hands that are still drawing postflop have little IO due to the small stacks behind, and of course the first preflop caller(s) with speculative hands are taking a risk that others come along without reraising.
