I think early (when the blinds were low and many bad players were left) it was a good strategy, but now it's just pissing away chips.

1. The blinds aren't nearly as low

2. The bubble part is over, nobody is scared of missing the money and thus can't be pushed around as easily when it was the bubble.

3. Most of the really horrible post flop players are already eliminated. The majority of the field remaining are at least decent to very good.

D.N. is a great player, world class, and much better than myself (duh), but his preflop play seems every -EV alot of the time.

The whole "I want alot of chips or I just want to go home" aspect may be playing a part of this too.
