Default NLTRN - This is a major leak right?

I ran into this guy in a $33 SNG on Stars. He was definitely the best player I have run into in $33s, probably better than anyone I've encountered in the $100s as well, but it seemed to me that once the blinds got to 100+ his play became sub-par at best. This is a hand from his perspective, I'm curious as to if anyone can make sense of it. He had a 15% ROI @ 33s.

Huge leak?

looks like a pretty classic stop and go to me. he knows you're raising with a wide range, so he calls and shoves any flop. you miss 2/3 of the time and aren't going to call this with king or queen high, so i don't think it's a huge leak at all.

disclaimer: i've played like 10 SNGs in my life

a player is dealt a PP 1/8 ( if im not mistaken) , so most of the time you are going to have two unpaired overcards, that will not make a pair or better 2/3's of the time, therefore i wouldnt say his shove is a huge leak... i personally wouldnt do it without any draw or real opportunity to improve my hand..

I wouldn't exactly call this a stop and go .

In fact , he has enough fold equity to shove all in .

If you had anything but QQ+ this is false.

A real hand would probably check/raise all in here. You definitely don't need QQ+ to make this call. I don't really see how it is feasible to have hit this flop unless:

a) he called rags planning to shove any 2 (in which case chances are he didn't hit)
b) he smooth called a PP (seems unlikely)

Sorry your preflop play is bad unless you have QQ+

Calling with j-4 and then shoving on the flop is a worse move than shoving all in preflop with j-4 . It's very easy to show this .
