Curious, those that open with large sizing.. IE 3bb+ mid/late tournaments; what hands do you feel work particularly well.

Have just started experimenting with adding some larger sizing in my arsenal to see reactions. I'm thinking if we are opening 3.5-4x it's narrowing of course both their calling range and 3-betting range on average.

Some might look at it as an opportunity to steal a bigger pot of course depending partially on their read on you..

Here's a spot last night I min-raised that thought might work better as either a larger raise or a limp.. QT on button (6 left in a 187 person) 7$ rebuy on wsop.com.

We all have in the 280-440k ish range except for BB has 170k. Blinds are 10k/20k w/ante.

I've been reshoved on twice in the last 3-4 orbits from one of the two guys to my left. I'm at 400k myself and guy to my left barely has me covered, and BB is 170k. Raising large may discourage a light reshove from him is my thoughts, or limping deciding. As played I min-raise called off and lost vs. A4o (vs 170k bb / intending to fold vs SB)

What are some other spots/suggestions/hands that this might particularly work better with?
