Why do some players who pick AK, AJ or AQ not fold when the flop doesn't match their hand? They raise or call the bet until the river, risking losing all their chips.

I believe that players like this don't accept that they will lose with a hand considered "strong" pre-flop and continue betting until the river to try to win.

What do you have to say to players like that, who give up all their chips just because they can't accept that they're going to lose?

This is typical of recreational players, especially in freeroll tournaments, they never accept to lose with one of these hands.
That's why it's hard to want to bluff players like that, who call everything, even if they haven't hit anything, the way is to be patient and hit a good hand and get all their chips,lol.

But the best part is when you identify a player like that, because he's going to raise, which for him will be considered high, because he doesn't have a good idea of the game, and soon you'll know that he has a strong pre-flop hand, so you start stealing his chips if you don't hit A, K, Q or J on the board.

Most of the time they play with these cards in hand and don't let go of anything.

I love, when I recognize this kind of profiles, to play all along with them, it's easier if u have a stack that helps. but dont get to risky on real life it's hard for them to follow unless they are leading but online it's another life

maybe they want to try a bluff or maybe they consider that the other player called preflop with a good hand like KQ and both of them missed the flop or maybe they are hopping that eventually they will get an A. There are so many possible answers...

Maybe it's part of their tactics or some notes on you.
