I agree that is a very poor way to play these hands but I might have some insight as to whay it happens. You commented that it's a sign
of a poor player and again I have to agree.
It only takes a few times of getting your QQ, JJ, or 10 10 busted by raising a 3X or 4X BB and haivng an overcard hit that people panic with these hands and would rather take all the skill out of the hand and play bingo with them.
Players would do better to realize that while these are great starting hands they are not invincible and isn't it better to make a standard raise to entice a caller with out risking your whole stack? Be prepared to dump them if overcards hit when you're called and save your
bankroll some damage. Post flop play is where you make your money and requires some skill to be really successful, many new or poor players aren't comfortable with that and would rather shove and cross their fingers.
