Its has some pluses, but I don't really like it

- It ignores one big negative, you arent accomplishing what you want to accomplish preflop...limiting the field. Most players who will limp should call a small raise (of course not late in a tournament where 2.5 BBs could be a standard open)

- Sure when you CB on the flop, it costs you a few less chips, but it also cost the player who decides than since u CB 90% of the time and raise with junk alot he's playing back at you a lot, less raising chips

When you do have a big hand which is up against a strong but not crazy hand, you'll make a lot less money on it, because the betting will be influences by the pot size. Thus to make up for this you'd need to steal a ton of extra pots, which I don't think will happen (at least not enough to offset the chips your losing when these situations arise)
