Re: Is this unethical?
Well, to me, this is like all-in abuse in a tournament. Get your money in when you have proper pot odds to do so without having worry about paying more later.
In both TOP and holdem Sklansky has a specific example for when its improper to play a drawing hand. The example explains that you need to be mindful that there are 2 more streets to play. That is, even though you are getting 1:2 pot odds on the flop for your flush draw reverse implied odds make it so that you will be getting less than 1:2 on your money by the river. This players style of always min buying frequently allowed him to ignore the 4th and 5th street and what they would cost him to see his draw hand to the finish.
