I don't hate it.

Re: new strategy?
 

it's not new! Beyond that, you don't want to get called here by anything, Even 7,2o!!! At the 2.50 level, you will get not one, but two or three callers. My guess is you did it and won so now it is a "new strategy." Do it a few more time -- like say 100 -- so your results have some (and I mean that loosely) statistical merit. Then see if it is a winner. My guess is it will not be.

just my thoughts,

i'm pretty positive this would be a +cEV push.. dunno how that translates to EV in SnG's though.

He doesn't? I'd love to get called by 72 here.

Donkeys are limping w/AA-QQ at these levels, and their also calling with JJ-22. The amount of chips you win uncontested don't outweigh the amount of chips you stand to lose if called.....

at least I don't think so.

Hi Mario-

You have the right idea, but you may want to implement this strategy when the blinds are higher. I think it was castanza who pointed out that you stand to lose a lot more chips than you stand to win uncontested, which is right on.

early on, seeing flops cheap with hands like AQ is where it's at...just get used to recognizing when you should value bet vs. when you should let your hand go.

I know the cheap tourneys always feel like a crapshoot because people start with such varying hands, but the betting patterns at these levels are very clear a lot of times. Don't be afraid to play postflop! Valuebetting your solid hands will increase your ROI at these levels much much more than picking up blinds here and there.

good luck...

I would want to get called as a 70% favorite too.

In a $2 game, I would be hoping to be able to find better spots than this.
