I'm guess you don't play many tournaments or SNG's at least. The blinds were insanely huge. He was playing with a push/fold strategy, fairly common in these types of situations. He was playing a correct strategy given the situation. Just because he put a few bad beats on people when everyone at the table has 10-15BB each doesn't make him a donkey.

I actually DO play in quite a bit of tourney style games...it's my preferred game in fact...and a couple of those hands were suspect. The one that sticks out is him pushing with J2o or J3o....something ridiculously bad like that. Bad paint, no flush or straight ops...just bad. Preflop on the button. I just don't get it. You're only gonna get called by something that beats you. Sexton even said that at one point. I do understand the strategy...and employ it heads up...but with slightly better cards than that. Any Ace...any pair...suited connectors...something better than some of the weird hands he pushed with.

You could tell Harrington was thinking the same thing by the look on his face...he knew the guy was off his rocker with the aggression.

And I don't think he's a donkey...you don't cash like he does being a donkey...I personally just think that it was a situation where, like most of those big game players where it's not about the money so much as making a name or a splash on TV...or maybe he was getting bored. He doesn't need the money(I would hope). He IS in the biggest games...cashes in the WSOP and is a WPT Champion.

He just did it in a way that baffled me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
