A couple years ago when I was pitching in house league I would try this move once every game. It always fooled the runner and we had him dead to rights every time. Of course I screwed up the throw a couple of times, but other times we got the runner out.
A guy on my current team refuses to do that move because it's "bush league". I dunno why he would say that; if the fake to third, throw to first retires a base runner, why not do it?
