Small stacks are often playing "tournament" poker looking to gamble and get it all in with 99 preflop. I don't know why, but they do.
Maybe they fail to notice that in most tournaments, the blinds become oppressive which forces you to gamble with 99. I've yet to play in a cash game where the blinds just killed me.
