I know there are very loose players (Geniuses) here on Cardschat, but this one outdid himself.
I believe his magic lamp gave him the wrong information.🤔🤪😁🤣
That hand took place this afternoon in the $100 freeroll on pokerstars.

Hmmm.... Interesting hand to say the least.

I think some people think they can bluff you out of every hand but not when you have the quasi-nuts.

But I have no clue why he called your jam - can't bluff in all-in anymore.

Maybe he thought you were bluffing your stack away?

Maybe he thought you were bluffing your stack away?

And yet he threw a donkey at me.

Lol I think he was waiting for a miracle playing the role of God thinking that by some miracle he would find the 9 and the T to make his sequence since he had more chips he believed he could miraculously win the hand. Even so you would find a fullHouse since you had 9 as well. Anyway.... I can't find any logical explanation for this but there are several hands without explanation of why calling a practically lost hand. One way for him to win there would be Q on the turn and another Q on the river.

In fact in Cardschat freerolls there is no logic for certain players, they simply want to kick you out of the pot.

A situation happened to me a while ago where a CC player that I prefer not to name also gave me an even more dubious call than your game.
$300 from 888 left only 15 players and we were both chip leaders. He was slightly the CL of the game.
I had an A8s in the BB and made a standard 2x bet due to the size of the blinds and he called. Flop 2QQ ofsuted. I also checked him on the turn another Q I checked him on the river also another Q ie four of a kind Q on the board so as I had an Ace I had the nuts ... In the worst case scenario it was going to tie so I went allinn and got called .. ...call with T5o......no explanation.....as much as he thought I was bluffing what sense did it make to call with T5o....end result he fell right after and I ended up in first place in the tournament.

I spoke with him a few times and I'm in touch but he never commented on the hand and I never asked because it was so weird.

Stabbing the flop when checked to is pretty standard. The click-back 3-bet and then again 5-bet is more unusual, but I guess, his thought process might be, that you probably dont have trips, and he can represent it and make you fold. However when you 6-bet jam, calling it off with Q high and no draw is pretty optimistic to say the least. But its a freeroll, and some people just dont care, when they cant lose their own money. Or maybe he was on tilt, since he threw a donkey at you

The truth is that there are players who don't value playing the Freerolls, they only play to have fun for a while and nothing more and I imagine how the other teammates think, they just thought you were bluffing, but already when there is a 5bet Wow. Surely in your range is J.

My opinion is that there are those who take freerolls seriously and others who are simply in for a lottery and don't really know how to play.

Why did we think that we had the best hand on the flop vs these actions by the Villain?
This V was very weak as per the call-
How might you play this hand vs a standard player who would not play this way?
What about a skilled player?
Would you still polarize your hand by check raising large sizing on a static board? Would that not normally get standard players to not play for stacks? Is that the best max value strategy vs V range based on these actions?
A skilled player might suspect you have bluffs on this board but would a skilled player click back vs a bluff?
When the BB min raises back and has skill would you then still 4 bet 3.5x? What are you value targeting? What is the skilled player repping?
When they 5 bet min again is your shove the highest ROI play vs bluffs and value?
