When I'm bb vs. an aggro OR, I had the idea it's a defensive move, an alternative to the AI that could save chips now and have the additional benefit of making the OR decrease steal attempts in the future.

Well, you're really not saving any chips if you plan to push ATF anyway - but the thought process behind the SnG is that you don't have any FE now, but you hope to gain some ATF or you hope to price out a hand like 2OCs ATF when you hold a middle PP.

You could run a mimic-SnG, when you make your opponent think you have a middle PP and then push the flop with your whiffed 27o and try to get him to fold AK - that's certainly an option [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. Usually when a player calls 1/4-1/3 of his stack PF his push ATF is going to get some level of respect, but now we are clearly talking about a variant of the SnG play.
