If Raptor can do it I can to - Metagame and Balancing the Open Limp

Two reason this play works.
1. You have reads. You aren't just arbitrarily assuming that people are going to shove into you.
2. You are at a point in the MTT where you don't want to waste a hand like QQ you want to double up. Stealing the blinds here you are wasting a very good hand deep in an mtt. In SNG's this play is horrible because
A) You will be pushing a lot for the rest of the SNG
B) The chips in the middle are really important in adding to your stack.

The other thing is guys in MTT's won't be calling this push with A2 or stuff like that. Guy in MTT's play so tight with like 20-25 bb's. There are tons of spots in MTT's where raising any two is +EV.

I also feel like this is much better if you have like 40k
