I might give it a try on a $4000 table.

Question though, won't this be picked up quickly as a predictable pattern?

To answer the first question; at lower levels it's tougher to win (not that that matters) and more importantly, tougher to get useful training/experience from it because the lower the level the more players ignore raises and limp/call and cold call. You're supposed to get comfortable raising as well as see the positive results of raising instead of calling. At lower levels raising has less effect so you see less results.

To the second question, after 30 or so SnGs no one has commented, and play money tables tend to be much chattier than real money tables. (I can almost hear Dorkus saying no one will be paying attention to how anyone else plays anyways). But if they do, that's part of what is supposed to happen. They would see that I play ery few hands and that I raise them. If that's the case, then they should assume that I'm only playing good hands so stay out of my way when I do play, which is exactly what I want when the blinds rise and I start stealing blinds. I'm using standard SnG strategies and this no-call restriction fits right in with standard strategy.

As a by-product, my play money bankroll has increased 350,000 over the 30 or so that I've played, but the real alue is in the experience.
