If this was anyone but Gigabet everyone would give the ol "fold preflop" one-liner. People either need to get off his dick or be more consistent with their replies. Both preferably.

There's some validity to this, but the reality is that this is Gigabet's style. He's a known player with a known style and this play isn't out of character for him. A lot of top players who play the circuit of real tournaments will do this occasionally just to vary their play so other people have a harder time reading them. In this case, I think if Giga is trying to find a spot where he's willing to take a flier on a hand that might show his opponents that he's willing to play any two cards when the situation presents itself, the pot odds from a 5-way pot with 25 BBs in it preflop is a pretty tasty reward for getting a flop like this.
