Was playing this tourney with multiple re-buys (as long as you had 1000 or less) and add-ons at the first break. Your starting stack was 1000.

With about 20 minutes before the first break, one guy shoved in, got beat, re-bought (at $2) his 1000 stack. Then shoved all-in pre-flop for the next 20 hands or so (it was at least 14) irrespective of his hole cards. He was essentially flipping a coin because most times somebody called him. He won ONCE, right before the break, giving him like 2050. So for a mere $28 (at least) he had 100 more chips than had he called a flop, folded, then re-bought when he had 950. Interesting strategy in a tournament that had a payout of $75 or so to the winner.

Of course, I got a bit greedy after the break, went from leading the table in chips to out the door in 40 minutes :) And of course captain re-buy was still there!

Sounds more like a fool than a smart player.

The worst part about it (and this has happened to me more than once) is when you have a guy lose it like this at your table and you don`t have any kind of playable hand to try for a share of those free chips. :(
