Agreed. Either that or they're feeling the siren call of a 4 card game that plays 2 ways without adjusting the strength requirements. Love those folks.

You're gambling here, but in the right position, driving the pot.
If you're more cautious, you might save a few chips. Perhaps the BB hits the low board and makes a PSB. If that happens, you don't feel committed to the pot at all and you can relinquish your hand and move to the next opportunity.
That's exactly what happened. He smashed the flop. But I wasn't cautious and went with it. But the blind squirrel did find the nut this time and that was it for me.

Was BB playing scoop/hi-lo hybrid hands mostly?
BB was playing any 4 cards he was dealt mostly. I wasn't running Omaha Indicator, but it felt like he was in ~50% of pots.
In summary, this hand cost me a tourney I had done really well with zero mistakes to this point. I didn't give him credit for holding a premium low hand that connected to that board. He had A369.
