I have not yet read the article, but based on the posts in this thread I can say that I play this style of poker in all tournaments during the early and middle stages. And I definitely feel as though there is a place for this style of play.
Lets be honest, we don’t always enter the pot with AA or KK, and if we waited for that to happen we would go broke off of the blinds alone (especially online). And even still, you will get broke going all in pre-flop with AA or KK 1 out of 5 times, so you have got to find a way to ary your play at times. And this style of play definitely helps you ary your style of play, while eliminating difficult decisions post flop in most instances.
The true benefit to this style of play is that it allows you to see the flop cheap, and allows you to play a wider range of hands. While I agree with the theory that you can disguise your range of hands with consistent pre-flop raises, you are committing chips from your stack into a pot that you have to c-bet into, and risking more chips post flop on a hand you might have missed.
I don’t agree that you should stick strictly to this style, but I agree that it is a great change of pace, and keeps your opponents off guard and keeps you in the game with a ariety of hands that you can enter the pot with, and works well when you have hit a run of dead cards.
