#7 They were suited!!!!
This may be one of my favorites. You would be surprised to know how many bar poker players actually will play a hand because it was suited! This type of player is very loose but will fold hands as long as their draw wasn't hit. There is a little bit of reason to their madness! LOL! I have had this discussion many times with this player after a hand is over. Why did you play those two cards to a raise. Because it was suited was the answer. If you talk longer with this player you will realize that as long as the two cards they have are suited they are going to call just about any raise that you make. This is a dangerous player. Why! Because you can't get them to fold until they have absolutely nothing. In a way this player is similar to the Slot Machine, as long as they are not catching you are going to win a lot of pots off them. When they have a night when they are catching above their 33% and have a huge chip stack it requires you to be very patient and wait for big hands. Pluses to this style are you get to see a lot hands and you can amass a big chip stack on given nights. The down side is this player is not playing by pot odds (probably doesn't know or care) and as long as their draw is still there they will continue in the hand. I will play this style sometimes early in a tournament to try and get a big stack. The difference is I can adjust my games as my chip count changes and the blinds increase.
