Default Is constantly pushing all in with any 2 and rebuying +EV? Explain?

I notice some good (even world class) players will push with any 2 and double rebuy every hand. How is this +EV? Can you explain?

they're better. its not every hand, most likely coinflips. the way they look at it is that all they're doing is giving donks chips and fattening the prize pool.

They're gambling to get a big stack for after the rebuy period, it's obviously not +cEV, but they feel that they can outplay their opponents eonugh when they have a deep (like 100-400BB's) after the first hour cause theres lots of bad people still around.

I'm not convinced it's +ev.. but wild aggression (but not necesarily any two) definitely can be.

they also do this to flood their table w/ a bunch of chips so after the rebuy they can take them back.

you dont always get changed, pokerstars has a system just like other sites so you can tell if you're going to get moved a lot. I've played 1 table for 4-5 hours several times.

Another advantage is that nobody believes you when you have a good hand and they'll start getting into battles with you on cards they wouldn't normally bet on.. I don't have enough money to just push all the time, but I do remember a guy who pushed and rebought like 10+ times.. he eventually built his stack up pretty good, and when he had a real hand, people were calling him down with like 10-Q, KJ, 5-5 etc

It's not random, but it's not predictable either. Tables balance whenever a multiple of 9 players remains (81, 450, etc.), so if you're table causes this to happen (82nd player knocked out, 451st, etc.) then you're table will be closed.
