Read or re-read the Harrington Books, as this is wrong on so many levels. In a large MTT if you are constantly seeking out coinflips early on, your hourly rate is likely to be zero. Those chips are not $$$, they are equity in the tournament. Virtually every pro uses a small ball game to accumulate chips, all the while attempting to trap a player on a huge hand.

But I think the biggest flaw in your logic is the fact that all your splashing around in very dangerous spots is not nearly as effective of a technique as becoming very aggressive when the blind stealing becomes worthwhile.

FWIW, I actually play your technique on FPP freerolls, etc. that aren't really worth my time. And the logic is: I want a hige stack early or go home early. The difference is I know its not optimal play, but I'd rather place no 500 out of 500 that 43 and win $11 for 3 hrs.
