good strategy. just that you usually don't hit when they hit. hard to make a profit when you only win one out of 10 hands. depends on your luck factor i suppose.

it can work but i think it can just as easily get you in alot of trouble especially if someone has higher 2 pair or set.,

I like you idea. It is like any strategy, as long as you change it upon the situation it may work. you cannot do this for big raises but if you have pot odds give it a shot or if you are a big stack looking to cut people down.

This strategy you can use only at the starts of small buy-in tournaments or freerolls.
When many players will call the hand because of the small blind.
After the break this play is just disastrous.
