What is gong on here?

So, I was looking up the biggest winners and losers on PTR and came across someone that has won over $60 at 2NL having only played 14 hands...here's one of them:

This isn't an isolated example either...there were lots of hands where every player just went all-in. What's going on?

that makes no sense

What's going on is that it is 2NL and you will very frequently see damn near the whole table go all-in when they all have unsuited, unpaired face cards. Someone's going to come out on top of that. Donkfest, but he got extremely lucky winning that many tossups in 14 hands.

Hmm - I 've played a lot at this level and never once seen this happen, certainly not every single hand which was happening here.

I played some 2NL on Titan and didnt see many all in donks..small sample size.

However the early stages of micro SNGs are a different story lol.

That's what I thought but why raise and re-raise. If you agree to flip just pump it in straight away.

I have also played a lot at this level, and I have seen this happen quite a few times. Although, I have not seen it happen that many times within such a small number of hands, but there are players like this guy who I've played at multiple micro levels... http://www.pokertableratings.com/ful...h/count_to_ten who will push with damn near anything, and it shows since he is -$45k

That's a spectacular graph.

Nice Charts.
That is just plain sick.
Perfect example of a path to Donkism.

Ouch !

It looks a little like the "40k or fold" play chip game that some guys were into at pokerstars; When you had alot of play chips you would use the max buy-in of 40k play chips and either bet it all or fold it at some tables. It looks like these guys 'graduated' from play chips to micro levels.

Funny thing about the guy I posted is that it isn't just micro levels. He has played as high as 1000NL and down to 2NL, and that could be in the same day... I try to play at his table any time I see him online.
