Weird strategy

Szachajevy · Jun 9, 2020

Hello poker friends !
I'm just very curious, maybe someone who are doing this will answer to me

I often notice some players long time folding during tournament and then they raise , reraise and even go all in with pocket 10 6 or something like it. Is it a joke ? Are you guys are folding A K and better

or what ?

In freeroll tournaments, people do crazy things. Raise with zero chances and all in with nothing.

There are a lot of strange players in poker...and it's not something you can see

gichka97 · Jun 9, 2020

Every player, who is playing poker has his own style of playing with different strategy and opinions how it is good for him to play in the game. You are thinking these players are very strange, but they are thinking the same for the people, who are only calling or waiting for strong hands. That is the reason why poker is very interesting , because it is like the life - it is interesting, because the people are different - it is the same in poker - different opinions=different players and various plays. You should deal with every player, regardless his type of playing.

probably were away from their keyboard or not paying attention to the tournament then came back and just said YOLO... that was the first hand they were paying attention to and decided to just go AI

there are people in poker who don't even know the rules
they just randomly press buttons

When I am away from my computer, my pet monkey plays for me. He makes a lot of dumb plays just like that. Really messes with my table image.
Oops, is it against the terms of service to let my pet play my account? Forget I mentioned it.

Well, maybe they are just bored of receiving only bad cards and trying to use a tight image on the table to try to steal some chips. And there are players that think that all in is always the best way to bluff.

Psyanide14 · Jun 9, 2020

When do they start playing this way? Are they getting down to 10 bb or so and feel like they need to make a move soon? Maybe they are playing to their table image they have established and feel like everyone will fold and they can still the blinds and get some chips. Could be many reasons and not just they are stupid or having their monkey play. 🤪

Yes lots of strange things in this world! Take for example the rule-- I before E, except after C or when sounded as A, as in neighbour and weigh. So you have it right but it breaks all the rules and I think that is just weird!

hi hi szach!! :ciao:
maybe depends on stack size & player's read of opponents?
"all in" is a most valuable offensive weapon in poker

There are millions of people who play poker and each uses a strategy, some play looser, that is, they play many hands that are known as "loose", others play harder, that is, few hands that are known as "tight". So it is common for these types of moves that you comment.

some use this strategy to raise the pot or catch a re-bet or also putting the cards on the table because most of these people will see if everything goes with a k on the flop to the river

alexand8r · Jun 10, 2020

Since people don’t pay to freerolls, they are hoping for a lottery. They proceed from the idea that they are better off either loose or trying to increase the number of their chips by 2 or 3 times. In paid inexpensive tournaments this also happens, but at the initial stage. Soon most of these players leave, giving their chips due to errors to more thinking players. However, on the bubble many people begin to play more passively, expecting other players to drop out before them. Then upon reaching ITM such a preflop lottery begins again, discarding bad players again and again.

The main thing to understand is that raising bets with bad cards is a bad idea in the long term. If you yourself want to do this for fun, do it after reaching the prize places. Then you will not waste time on the tournaments in vain

And yes, on preflop even 2 aces do not guarantee anything. Go all in on the turn or river only, making sure your chances are really high!

As others comment, this is probably in freeroll or play money.

This doesn't happen a lot in paid games unless it's situational like they are short stacked.

Martin Carreira · Jun 10, 2020

The same thing has happened to me many times. In most FREE tournaments and especially first hands, players play very strange hands in very strange ways. Just because they are free and they want to increase their winnings soon to be able to continue in the tournament or to withdraw quickly for home haha. It is very difficult to understand their strategy haha. Regards!

These players count on banal luck in the hope of winning over the mud. It happens that trusting intuition you go all in with any suited bunch.

I was playing a 5NL cash game with a person who had stats of like 10/7 over almost 100 hands. They were in MP (6-max), and the UTG player raised. The tight player 3 bet. This was the first 3-bet in the almost 100 hands. I had crap and got out of their way.

NITs gonna NIT, and I just moved on. Everyone folds except the UTG player. The flop was K-high and the UTG player and the tight player got all in on the flop. "What was the super tight player's hand?" you ask. You're probably thinking AA, or KK, or at the very worst AK. Nope... he had K6 offsuit. He folded nearly all of 100 hands, only to stack off 100xbb deep with K6o. The micros are a weird place sometimes.

There´re many crazy people in freerolls. Thus, it´s a lotte.
Payment entries are more practical than freerolls.

korneel · Jun 13, 2020

When I'm shortstacked I will sometimes raise with a 'bad' hand when I'm in the right position.
When you have less than 10BB, you have to take some risk.
