It's a very inefficient way to organize your equity. This style really only works well against calling stations. It's easy to exploit. And it's a common leak among weak aggressive players.
One thing I wondered a while ago when I read something like this is wouldn't it be preferable to force your opponent into a fold in order to win the pot?
