Foxwoods WPT Satellite...do people not understand tourney strategy??

[LLKOOLK1]

Foxwoods WPT single table. Top 2 Places win a seat to next tourney...
Blinds 200- 400 with 75 ante.
Im in the BB, the other chip leader is in the SB and we both have similar stacks(4000 or so each) with the BB completly crippled with only 450 chips.
After he antes his 75, he is all in blind for 375.
I call 400 in the BB without even looking...only to see the small blind look at his hand...groan...and fold for only 200 more, to put this player out...
BB wakes up with 99
I turn over Q7 /images/graemlins/club.gifs
5-7-7-10-4 for a flop and I bust the short stack and secure a seat for myslef and the moron next to me.
I cannot understand how people can be this oblivious to tournement strategy. Is there any hand that he could have that he wouldnt want to call 200 getting laid 6-1 to knock a player out and win your seat?
I understand if this only paid 1st, but top 2? with 3 Left and an allin blind?

I must admit I didn't actually read your post, but the answer to your question is "no, they do not."

This isn't really a terrible play if he has something truely terrible, he might think its not worth giving the small stack another 200 with something like 25o if he goes on to win the hand.

From the title of your post I was expecting something much worse ... like him calling an all-in from you with ATo or bluffing you out with the 3rd player all-in.

too many Big Blinds, my head hurts

Being laid 6-1? And its only 200 more, I dont think the prospect of giving him 200 more chips should scare him off of taking two random hands up against one random hand. The flop could come down A K 2 Q J...and maybe 52off is the best hand? I just dont see a single hand I could fold here

I never said it wasn't wrong, but its certainly not something I would bother posting about either.
