The problem I see with this is that at that level of STT (<$20) on the very first hand you are almost certain to get callers. The more callers the more chance you have of losing. I have seen people call an All In on the first hand with 10,6 off suit (note that they called the All In with this, not took a gamble on a bluff).

In higher value tournaments I agree with you that you shouldn't risk it all on the very first hand.
