Wow you just blew my mind cuz I've actually started doing this exact thing myself this week over on UB, where the players seem slightly tighter, and I love the results so far. I agree it does feel like you are playing way more hands (although you're not unless you were tossing small pp's before). And it feels great every time you win a pot with a c-bet because normally that's a pot you would have lost if you were just set-hunting. And then there's those times when your c-bet is called and BOOM your set comes on the turn! I feel this has been helping my big hands get some more action and I am harder to read as well. Glad to see that others play this way.
I think the strategy is definitely better suited to tight and/or passive tables.

I rarely slowplay anything below a boat, so even if I lose a bet here and there with my caught cbets with low pairs, my big hands are getting more action.
