I will run some numbers later on comparing my strategy with the push all-in preflop. I think both are better than folding, and I think clearly my strategy would be superior to a stop-n-go (seriously, on the A Q T flop the only hands that are completely missed from his original range is 99 and 88, even JJ and KK have straight draws).

I agree that a SnG is terrible here.

That being said, calling and betting the flop then folding to a raise is bad too.

You are going to have 1200 of your 2000 in the middle, and will be getting your stack in the middle by then and will be getting 4:1 on calling a push, so you can't fold and leave yourself just 4BB's.

I like your strategy if we are deeper, but calling off 20% of our stack with plans to fold some flops isn't good, as you are pissing away any FE your stack has left, and you can easily fold best hand too often.

This is a PF decision IMO.
