As was stated before this is a play that can only be used against a player once. I have notes on a lot of players that like to do this and once I've seen it I'm not raising into any other their weak bets. This play also must be used against the right players, to mant players will just call down your beat bet on the turn and not allow you to build a big enough pot to push all in on the river. This play is very similar to leading into a raisor that it needs to be made against the type of player that is going to be agressive enough to raise, against a calling station type player a check raise is obviously a better play than a weak lead.

Now, how do you proceed against a more aggressive, loose opponent? You STRONG lead with strength.. every time. Sooner or later the bassid is gonna make a move on you :] Then move to the weak lead, or check raising, or whatever.. but not until you stack him. Whether you keep on exploiting the LA's tendency would depend on your evaluation of his observation skills.
