Default Was Sklansky playing the system on PSI2 quarterfinals?

It was basically a supersatellite with 3 players for 2 seats. Sklansky was short stack. He seemed to keep making these big overbet pushes with marginal hands.

I think the idea is if his opponents call and lose they probably don't win a seat. Also, he is probably not as good a tournament player as Chan or Mortenson. By playing this way his logical and strategic strengths weere emphasized and his opponents' strenghts were minimized. It was interesting to see him actually play the way he recommended in the system.
