I realize he has eliminated position but what I am referring to simply raising and then getting called and being out of position with a pot that is roughly 1/3rd of your stack sitting in front of you on a completely whiffed flop.

I don't like it, because you're more likely to get a loose call from a pocket pair than from AJ/AQ. Why not just make a standard raise and a continuation bet if you get called and take down a small pot.

Yeah but think about how often you get called preflop. The answer is not that much. Secondly think about how often you hit the flop...the answer is a decent amount of the time. Thirdly you will win when you don't hit quite often.

How good you are at playing out of position post flop has a lot to do with whether or not you should push this. I never have open pushed any hand with those stack sizes, blinds and positions ever in a SNG but like curtains said its not a losing play at all.

One thing you may want to consider is the "meta" effect a play like this has on the remainder of the tournament...

Aren't you from Denmark?

This is fairly common play from Scandinavian and Russian players.
