It is understandable that this strategy catches your attention, since it is a risky and somewhat unusual tactic. Indeed, when a player pushes the majority of his stack and leaves only one or two checkers behind, he may be trying to achieve several objectives, and not necessarily revealing weakness. Here are some possible reasons behind this move:

Trapping Opponents: By leaving only one or two chips, the player may be trying to induce others to call in the hopes that they will believe they have a stronger hand and will be willing to risk the rest of their chips. In this case, they are not looking to fold on the flop, but rather attract other players to the pot to increase their winnings.

Protect the blind: In tournaments with increasing blind structures, some players use this strategy to protect their blinds. If you have a marginal hand but are about to run out of chips, you can push to avoid running out of the blind and still have a chance to survive and fight for a better time to bet your chips.

Offbalance Attempt: By making this unusual play, a player can attempt to throw his opponents off balance and cause them to second-guess their decision making. Uncertainty can lead to mistakes on the part of opponents, which could be beneficial for the player making the play.
