Default Has the calling \"all-in\" standards at the 50\'s gone to hell?

The past 3 days have been quite strange... i've been getting called down by extremely marginal holdings from opponnents that have healthy stacks.

Example on a 55

50/100

UTG - 800
UTG+1 - 1100
CO (Villan) - 1200
Button - 3000
SB - 800
Hero (1100) bb

UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, CO limps, Button limps, SB folds, Hero Pushes all in with AJ (makes it 1000 to go)

CO calls all in with J10s
Button folds

Whether I won or lost the hand doesn't matter but what I have been noticing is that people are calling with all kinds of garbage of late.

I've been called by K8off, KJoff, A4s, A5off, 109s, K10o, QJ (everyone calls with QJ why???) and KJ. I never remembered this many odd holding call me down in the 50's. Have people tired of people pushing them around during the bubble. Too many 2+2ers in the 50's blind stealing?

Through all of this I would say I was the favorite 90% of the time and i'm not even pushing great hands. They call and i'm like "ah crap" and then they flip over and i'm the favorite and i'm shocked. I'm just baffled by most of the calls from people who have healthy stacks, it's bizarre.

Anybody else noticing this at the 50's of late?
Is it altering your strategy any?
