What is your experience/opinion of legging into synthetic puts (ie., buy an OTM call and, after the stock has moved up, shorting the stock or, I guess, selling deep in the money calls)?

The goal being to obtain puts (at or in the money) at a lower cost. This strategy seems appealing especially to one who has been playing long puts, where the general experience is to see the stock price jammed back up by the herd just as your puts were showing signs of life.
