I've been playing a lot of micro stakes 45man SNG's at PS, and thanks to the guys here, I'm doing very well at the moment and my game has improved greatly . Anyways, I was just in a FT (5 players left) and this guy started doing something really strange:
(Just FYI, the other 4 players at the table were extremely short stacked and got taken out in a few mins, so I didn't get to see this guy play enough hands to get some info about his play style). He went all-in EVERY hand for about 20 hands in a row. This is not an exaggeration.
He was average stack when he started doing this. Everybody was too afraid to call him, and he subsequently stole every blind until he was the highest stack at the table, then he sat-out until the final 2.
Is this a 'standard' strategy? Was this guy just crazy? Do you think he had some epic read on all the players and figured this would work out? This is really bothering me, because personally I think it is an idiotic strategy, yet he managed to profit so greatly from it.
Also, I ended up going heads up with him and won, but still confused lol.
tl;dr Guy goes all-in every single hand at FT and builds a monster stack.
