In tournament poker, when the small stack goes all-in, usually two or three people call and then check around to have the greatest chance of knocking the small stack out.
More and more I've been seeing and coming up against people who will bet after the flop, pushing the others out, and often bringing the small stack right back into the game when, had the usual rounds of checking been done, he would have been out.
Does anyone have a reason for this; a change in strategy, inexperience, stupidity, other?
To me it seems stupid - why risk saving someone who could come back and knock you out later?
