I think he's just a guy who thinks he needs to build a big stack early in an MTT and the way to do it is to be throw a bunch of chips in the pot and see if he can suckout a few times.

If he gets lucky over and over once in a while and it gets him deep in a tourney he likes it and thinks it's good.

Ahhhh....this is me eliminating him from this tourney

I had to take the full time, to think if he had an ace, before I called...
