These hands are from the 1st 40 mins of a €5 tourney at paradise, and it's like the more you pay the more crazy the players get.
I actually knew monkeymad was capable of doing this with A2os, but the calls made me fold as I didn't have any info on them.

This was a little later on but all the play inbetween was also crazy, it's just these ones stood out to me. I didn't know the opponent or I wouldn't have rr'ed him on the flop.

It's shocking to me how they just seem to throw their money away, and with the play being so much different than Pokerstars or Fulltilt, I often wonder if the strategys should be completely different too. As when I get to push fold stage like 5/10 players will call my allins with as low as 87os or 56s or sometimes even less.

i dont think the overall strategy changes, just that you need to adjust your ranges a lot more. i.e if they are always snap calling your 10bb shove with QTo, then i wouldn't shove 55 anymore because you are flipping way too often, but i would start shoving something like A5 because you can do it for value against their calling range.
