Default metagame strategy - playing extremely loose against mini-stacks

I have taken to playing extremely loose against mini stacks ($20 on a 50/1, 40 on 1/2 etc) 20bb or less; As an aggro player preflop one will find themselves in lots of spots where they shouldnt really call a reraise from a smallstack as there is little or no implied odds; and often your hands are going to be dominated.

This harks back to the thread about oop being a 'losing' proposition....

this is also a losing proposition....

HOWEVER; there is, i believe, a trade off with your image against the deep stacks; it looks as if you are calling reraises with hands that perform poorly against a reraisers range (eg akq7 or somesuch); e.g. trading small mistakes against some opponents for larger mistakes by other opponents

What do you guys think? any other trade offs in omaha you can think of?

Does anyone else do this... if so for these reasons or others?

thanks
