Interesting.

I would rather fold and raise almost any two later.

If I am ditching to a reraise, then my cards become far less relevant IMHO and I can't bring myself to worry about 150 chips. Im cruising merrily towards a heads up and am not strong enough, nor are the blinds big enough, for me to effictively win the tournament early through blatant aggression.

Folding this twice here and stealing once later with xxo amounts to the same number of chips, and with far less risk, I also get 10-15 hands where I might find a 'real' hand.

I don't think it's outright bad play, but it doesn't play in a manner that I want to.
With this stack, I don't want to be in a position to fold preflop with some of my chips out there.

I'm perfectly happy to let the 5k guy control the game and take all the risks on my behalf. If he slips up then I can go on the attack, and if he KO's one or two, then I'm in the money.

In a MTT, with many players still in, I would raise this, but not in a 50-30-20 payout structure SNG.
