Ah, a challenge has been issued. Great way to build up some rivalries on this forum.

2-7 2-9 3-10 it doesnt seem to matter.

You will at some stage come accross a player or sometimes a good few players who will chance it with whatever they have.
Now it may be true that these players have signed up to the wrong tourny Limit/NL and just want out, but it is become more frequent that some players are chancers, by this I mean they have a few $ and dont mind spoiling games by trying to buy them (just keep betting with anything and hope for luck) if you come accross a player who you think is trying this it is worth doing a site search for there name as they most probably will be in a couple of sit n gos.
My advice is follow them, play the hands you now are good and you should 90% of the time win, they are playing solely relying on luck, you will be combining your skill with luck, chances are you are going to win.

yeah, the people ive seen doing this really dont think about anythign they do. i saw the tightest player at the sng reraising the maniac on a turn of JJ99, they capped it, and the maniac ended up all in on the river (Q). the tight player had AJ, and the maniac was playing the board with 10 3. obviously these kind of players are going to die when someone gets any sort of hand, but since that was the first (and last) limit sng ive played, i dont think im going to go out of my way to hunt down these people in limit sng's. pot limit fish are more common, and since its pot limit, they cant get my suited connectors out preflop.... especially early in the tourney, when i can see a flop with them for something like 4% of my stack.
