Default overbet pushes into small pots early in low buy in tournies

Lately in low buy in MTTs I have taken to pushing my big hands preflop into small pots in the early stages...based on results I think it creates the most value and kills any reverse implied odds...I consistanly get called light by weak aces and suited connectors who are either just terrible at poker or non belivers...Usually I don't want to put too many chips at risk early so this strategy while seeming psychotic seems to work...also creates the crazy image with little risk...

examples are if I have AK suited or QQ in MP...3X raise and call I usually just push 1500 into 150 pot...get some muttering table comments but at the same time they don't know what to make of it...

Any thoughts?
