That's an investment of $26.40 and a return of $46.80... I don't think you're doing too bad at the $4.40 sngs!
I'm actually with you on this, open-limping during the early stages. There's plenty of fish around just dying to hit top pair so they can shove, so pocket pairs are great stack builders in the early stages. But once the blinds hit 100, it's a no-no.
