I recall a player I played against in a $1/2 cash game a few months back. I managed to extract several hundred from this player because they only ever raised or re-raised pre flop with QJ. It was the most bizarre thing, I have no idea why they did that but I was on that table for about 30 minutes before I realised and for the next 2 hours I got paid several hundred.

Anyone else ever seen strange player behaviour like this?

It isn't a strange player, just a bad player who likely plays poker as entertainment. The world is full of big fish, people with money who play to pass the time. A few hundred dollars likely was nothing to them.

Many players in the beginning of the session show the showdown twice with poor or very poor hand to confuse opponents and 3 or 4 hand start to exploit the paid up fish.
And sometimes Vice versa first player intentionally shows nut hands and the next 4-5 hands and bluffing will donked almost all the streets.

I would say strange behaviour a player I had in my table yesterday. He was raising, re-raising and going all in and every time he won the pot. This is insane. He never folded and always was the winner. Excuse me??? :icon_scra

On some occasions I have played against players who have a very strange behavior in their form and play ... the first thing I notice in this type of players is their way of making their bets, as well as from the positions that makes them ... exists A game pattern that is considered normal in poker and when a player gets out of that pattern you have to be very careful ..!

Many immediately ran to look for such people, but not everyone can find a real diamond :(

I know the man who bet only if he can get Flash combination.
And he is a fairly successful player.

I've never seen anything like it, but if he did it, it's because he's done right in his life, or he's crazy. rs

I play in a poker house here in my city, I see things like this always, but I believe he does it here because they are going to have fun, the bb is 5 reias ($ 1.5 in dollars would be) he does in the pre-flop re-raise 5X just to see the flop, play as if they do not care about the money, !

Rare players

I'm really new to the world of poker, but i've seen player go allin with a pair of 2's, pay the fourth hand all in with a 3 and a 4 and nothing in the flop, trying to bluff, I think the bluff is been misunderstood in the las times, becouse its an art, you can't go bluffing all the game you have to prepare the bluff, check your opponents moves for a while, make 2 or 3 moves trying to fool your opponents and see how they react, and then you can bluff or go all-in with a chance to win.

It's my opinion

How many times did they get QJ, and better hands for you to pick up on this ? Definitely an odd behavior but to realize it within 30 minutes is crazy.

I would say they had QJ maybe 5 or 6 times in that initial time and luckily each time they would reach showdown before I realised it was only that one hand they raised with pre flop. It may have been longer than 30 minutes, wasn't exactly keeping track of time but that is all it felt like.

I don't believe a word you are saying. How would you realize in 30 minutes that a player is only raising preflop with QJ. How many times is a player dealt QJ in 30 minutes? And then to use that particular observation to win several hundred from that player in a $1-2 cash game? How many times did that particular player have QJ in 2.5 hours, 20 times? Give me a break!

What? This was 6 seater with some very tight players.. a lot of folds with many hands not even making it to the flop. In 2.5 hours several hundred hands were dealt..

Yes I am going to waste my time making up stories. Look, there are just some crazy/bad/wtf people out there. Simple as that. Heck I am sure I have had KK 3 times in a row before. Anything is possible.

The probability to be dealt QJ is 1 in 169 hands. A six player table on the internet will see 75-130 hands an hour, so 2.5 hours - 325 hands, tops. Which means that your opponent should have been dealt QJ twice. In between that and what you are saying is such a huge distance that either that session defied all reason and statistics or you are making things up. I believe the obvious alternative.

I don't think tididuru is very good at math ! Where he came up with qjo happens 1 time out of 169 I will never understand . Some how he multiplied 13 and 13 , but I have no idea why he chose those numbers . The likelihood is 8/52 times 4/51 , or about 1 in 83 . I expect his understanding psychology is just as bad .

Yesterday I was playing in a cash table with small stakes and I was watching a player who went all in three times and won and the three!! Very rare and very difficult to happen!

Some play such hands because it's their birth date. 2-3, 8-4. Or not their birth date but happend very important event. In your example maybe QJ correspond to his name or people he knows well. I don't know what's the point to know it? what will it change if you find out the reason? But if you are really interested try to talk to them. if they respond.
