Most SnG's I play at
PartyPoker ($10+1), there is rarely more then 4-5 players in a pot preflop even if nobody raises. Therefore, if you have a hand like AJ, say the blinds are still at 10/15, isn't raising to 45 considered a value bet? I do this somewhat often because I like to build the pot for cheap, attract 3 callers, and then play it from the flop. I find this to be a much better strategy then betting 90-120 preflop, missing the flop completely, and then having lost more then 1/8 of my stack already.
Am i missing out on the bigger concept? Because to me, it seems like value betting allows me to see 3x as many flops in the early stages of the game, where it is critical that I start building up an extra 200-300 chips so that when a few people are knocked out, I'm not on the lower end of the table coming into the homestretch. >6
Let me know what you think of the strategy.
