The first one I hate. He doesn't gain all that much folding equity by pushing 880 instead of say 300. Seems stupid to risk the whole tournament in that situation.

Not in the games he plays....also, once the pot gets big enough he needs to jam in order to take it down. Think of it as an learly level 5 steal where his opponents basically can only be playing one of a very few hands that will actually call him there so early.

So basically you are saying value bets don't exist at these levels? I don't buy that for a second.

I don't see the *value* in betting with overcards on this board given the play so far. In fact, it very likely will result in someone with a pair actually making a value raise to your bet.

Which once again would be a leak. If the only way Gigabet can communicate to his opponents that he has a good hand is a push and not a potsized bet, he must be pushing too much and valuebetting too rarely on the river (since the valuebet according to him is an invite to come over the top).
