Yes.  I have done this sort of thing before and other things at least as silly.

I like to think of a "pre flop all-in" as a nuclear option.  It is one of the most powerful plays and it is extremely simple to do (read: it is also quite unsophisticated), but it carries with it EXTREME risk as you have nothing left to do if you get called.  Before you break it out you have to consider the downside.   I just don't do it under almost all circumstances UNLESS I have aces and think I get a call.

If you have the nuts pre flop (AA)  it's a good bet when they call OR when they fold.

If you have a marginal hand pre flop (A8o) and do it it's good if they fold... but it's a sick pit of acid refux when they call.

Put yourself in the win/win instead of the win/lose. ;)

It is also quite dangerous to go all in pre flop with more than 1 or 2 players.

Of course I am a ring game player... a PF all in might be used much more rarely there... not sure.

$22 ain't too expensive if the next time you itch to drop a bomb you consider options first.
