Theorem of Kamikaze Poker

[ART-Poker]

Did you hear about the Kamikaze Poker Theorem?
Kamikaze · Reckless style of play, almost suicidal. ·
Mental Skill
The game of poker is based on skill so long as both players are mentally balanced. If one player is not mentally balanced, then balanced player has an advantage. If a player is mentally balanced but playing as though he is not, he gains the advantage, as he will disrupt the mental balance of his opponent.

Otherwise we talk about fish and moron players, I found them especially in micro tournaments all the time.
My conclusion is:
"They belong to the kamikaze players".
What do you think about that?

Moron players? Never heard that term before. As for mental skills: Any balanced but unskilled player will bleed money to a seasoned pro with some mental issues. Kamikaze is just a Nippon word for a maniac. Your “theorem” is just a description. A theorem is quite another thing.

I think whoever invented this must be crazy, poker is about balance, GTO is about having a balanced game, and when we study some spots, the exploits come, but far from having a kamikaze strategy this is idle talk.

You call these players kamikazes, I call them bingo players, someone calls them fish or donkeys. No matter what we call them, we all know who we are talking about. I personally consider such players to be convenient opponents because thanks to such players I make money

by micro tournaments ($1-3) it doesnt work mental skills. Maybe middle and high tournamts up to $50-100

as another player said.. we use to call them 'maniacs' its a style completely funny to watch and laugh, enjoy when u see one in your table o/
they are just having fun and playing, sometimes they have more fun then us even losing money hahah

I often see such players at micro-limits. They don't care what card they have or what bets they had before, they will raise or go all-in with any card and only play for luck. There was an incident just yesterday. I've been sitting at a table with this player, I've got the second stack, he's got the first one. The final table begins, I'm on the big blind. A player from an early position opens 2 bb. This crazy 7 bb raise.
I have AA, I raise 15bb, he calls. I'm calling. It has 2 Qs of different colors. And it catches 2 Q

I like it!

Yeah, I get what you’re saying. Those wild, reckless players who go all-in with anything — definitely feel like kamikaze types. But if a solid player pretends to be one, that’s where the real edge is. Gotta love using chaos to your advantage.

Take this hand for example. I went all-in pre-flop with 88. Kamikaze guy decides this is the perfect opportunity to over-shove with 92o. He won of course, but the real point is - why did he make such a stupid play? Even if he thought I was bluffing, what am I bluffing with that 92o beats?

Makes you wonder, what the f--k is going on in some of these games?

The Funny Farm players come in volumes in low stakes tournaments. It’s tough to lose such a hand. This guy is the core defenition of a bingo player. And he probably tells his friends that he’s a shark.

Because he did not care about that penny value game? This conclusion never came to ur mind?

What should go on in "some of these games"? Ur opponent decided he wants to either double up or leave early. There was no thought process behind his move, lol.

He worked out if the game was ahead or behind schedule and therefore guessed he would not lose. Was he doing this every hand or just now and then?

 

[makisaa]

It is a cheap tournament, they don't have to lose many, so they share their chips and money easily!

 

[Sunz of Beaches]

No I never hearf of this Theorem and sounds like nonsense to me. First u talk about a mental skill and then u describe the same players as moron and fish. So what is it, a skill or not?
