A laughable mistake on the bubble

I thought this was just hilarious, in that 2 donks made huge mistakes on the same hand:

Playing 6man turbo. I am a big chip leader (something like 7K vs 1.5K vs 500 chips). Blinds are 250/500 and the BB is the shortstack, literally has 60 chips left after posting his blind. I am UTG with AK suited. Of course, I shove all in. Our first mistake is when the SB in 2nd place CALLS! I mean, unless you have Aces, that's an insta fold. The second mistake is when the BB calls off his last 60, when he could have increased his equity enormously by folding.

As it turns out, the SB only had AJ. By this time I was ROTFL. He then got lucky and caught his Jack, and the BB was eliminated. The result is irrelevant: This hand was played horribly, and I was dying from laughter. These people are the reason my profits are so nice.

a nice one I saw last week playing a $9 satty to a monday high-roller on Titan (buy-in ME $109).
Nearing the bubble (about 25 left, 17 paid) while most medium stacks were just doing nothing, just waiting for the bubble to burst, number 2 and 3 in stacks got involved in a battle and ended up all-in preflop.
I mean, they could have sitting it out for years with about 5 times average.
Result ofcourse 1 busto, actually $109 through the drain for him, and I was in such unbelieve I hardly was able to play any longer during this thing.

Loads of players are just so stupid while playing satellites, trying to get first while for example 15th has the same reward.
Probably has something to do with ego.

I'm not so sure the BB short stack made as big a mistake as the second stack. I assume you were raising most hands and if the SB doubles up through you BB is basically eliminated anyway.

I was on absolute in a satty to the 200K ($5+R buyin) 1st out of the 15 got entry, 2nd got $75. There were 3 of us left and stack sizes were like this:
Blinds 3/6k
BTN: me 7k folds 23off
SB 25K calls Ks8s
BB 27K checks AsJs

Flop is Qs10s3s

allin on the flop and i'm fistpumping my way to $75

Okay, but the chances of him beating 2 hands was very slim (I should mention he called with 5 8 off suit). And even if he triples up, he is still gonna be the short stack with about 1500 chips. I could show you the math, but without even doing it I can tell you that he really hurt his equity by calling. With that said, his mistake wasn't AS big as the SB, but it was a bad move nonetheless.
