Thanks for the reply.

So you're playing implied odds there? A pot-sized bet = fold according to plain pot odds n'est pas (not factoring in reads)? Though I suppose you could have a few more outs than just the straight draw.

I'm curious, how many times out of 100 (meaning % I guess) does the straight flop? The straight draw? Two Pair? Trips? These are generally academic - I could look up the % chance but I'm more interested in your personal experience than raw % here.

And what I really want to know is - do your winnings when you hit at the flop/turn outcash your costs (folding at flop when you have nothing, not even straight draw, or at the turn with straight draw missing, hek even at the river if you see it that far - matches 2 pot sized bets) ?

It seems like you are probably profitable overall with this strategy...plus it gives you nice 'unpredictability cred' at the table.
I like the sound of it - not ready to employ it yet but once I get decent I'll keep it in mind.
Thanks!
