I agree. I think you'd want to see a flop with pretty much any hand you would play out of the small blind - and maybe even a few more (ALL one gap non-suited connectors, for example).
I think they key to winning here would be evaluating your hand on the flop and proceeding correctly. Jam it when you have the goods, chase NUT draws when the price is right, and dump everything else.
The pot is going to be laying you sick odds, but getting in the habit of chasing runners is a bad idea.
Or is it..............? The more I think about it, the more I think mathematically, you might be correct in chasing almost everything. And if everyone is correct in doing that, you might as well all ante $10 and just deal out 5 card stud. Yeah, that's no fun.
Actually, a "fun" way to approach this game would be to bet/raise at EVERY opportunity, EVERY single hand. Depending on how the table reacts, that might even be the optimal strategy! If you can take down 25% of the pots uncontested before showdown, I'm guessing you'd come out ahead.
Crazy.
