Re: another example of weird villain all in $10
As someone who still quite often plays like a donkey, I am perhaps uniquely qualified to offer insight into the donkey mind.
Until embarrassingly recently, an early all-in raise from late position from me almost always meant 99-JJ. My feeling was that the hands had too much value to set-mine and were too difficult to play post flop. So pushing was the only thing I could think of to do to get any value at all, and I would have been perfectly happy to pick up your 140 chips even if you had flipped your TT face up.
Also, FWIW, Sklansky wrote somewhere that AK has properties that make it attractive to shove. I'm obviously aware that he wasn't talking about shoving 140BB early in a tourney, but it might be another explanation for the strange shove.
So if your villain is me from a few months ago, you're looking at a coinflip here.
