Is there ever a situation where this would be worth considering?

    If I am on the BB, I usually fold once the flop is down if I haven't hit anything and sometimes I fold even if I have hit something, That way it saves me getting into a lot of bother with cards I would normally fold Pre-flop.

    Sometimes 3 handed in a DYM it can pay dividends, because u r telling your opponents it's HU between them.  It is position dependent.

    i have folded instead of checking couple of times on the flop from the BB just couldnt be bothered messing about with a rubbish hand in a DYM think we were on the bubble just saved the hastle of hitting stupid two pair and getting knocked out.

    No reason to ever do this on any street other than the river.  Even then I still don't, I'm not one of those people precious about showing their cards.
