I think he thinks (either correctly or incorrectly that this is the best strategy for short deck). I think its been great seeing him joking and messing around with others at the table. You never really get to see that.
He didn't just play passively. He got absolutely owned in almost every pot he played that went post-flop. He ran pretty bad and it was probably just a bad day at the office. He seems to have a default of always folding one pair hands. To be honest the game isn't super soft considering the high variance and two of the Asian players look very good players in this format.
I agree about the chat. He was talking to the guy beside him about a 7/8m downswing (I think that is what he said) he had. I think I heard him say he was up massively at one point until a hand with Jungle when Jungle had a straight flush turned things and it was all downhill from that point.
