    Could work, but staying extremely tight and plain value betting your good hands will be much more +EV. As long as you realise that because of the donkeyness your high unpaired hands lose a lot of value as you will often be up against a very random 2 pair if you shove. Playing this way your variance is obviously still higher than by not playing at all but the added value to be had is tremendous. I play low stakes (usually single/multi-table SnG) and I try to apply this strategy to circumvent the minefield in the first few levels, after which play is much more "normal" - but it helps to have some sort of stack by the time the blinds start forcing you towards push/fold mode.

    Def, i agree wth a healthy stack. Maybe double-up, reaching level 5 and having only played 2 hands is kinda safe, but still one of those 2 monsters happens be the end for me no matter how aggressive i play em, especially in situations where i'm dealt AA-KK-QQ utg. Haveto figure out how to play those better and evade loose-crazy shoves on a dodgy flop. GL n Thanks 4 commenting :)
