Not saying I agree with this idea (which I definately don't), but lemme play with the numbers for a second
First of all, the "schemer" can post UTG, to avoid any action before him disrupting his "scheme", so we can wipe away the - 500 (small change in the big picture but still), in addition increase his blind steals from 17 to 19 out of 20 (since we are ignoring the 2 times he'd fold, since he is posting UTG)
Next, you can reduce the amount of your buy-in to $1500. You have close to as much fold equity with $1500 as $5000 (I think) they are both drastic overbets.
So say you win 1 out of 5 times that you are called, you'd lose 6000 and win 1500 (for a net of -4500) everytime you are called. So you'd need to make this up in blind steals. You'd steal 19 times without being called on average. SO lets go through 5 rounds (since youd win a showdown 1x out of 5) which means you'd steal blinds 95 times (19 times per round times 5 rounds). 95* 75 = 7125
For an overall net of $2625 per 100 hands
Again, I AM NOT SAYING I BACK THIS IDEA WHATSOEVER nor would I ever do it -- but playing with the numbers this way gives it a different spin
