Superstition unpredictable madness
There have been some funny threads on what seats win at party and various other madness. Even flower selection and tinfoil helmets. With that in mind....
I play a guy in local live tournies who plays in the following manner. He looks for patterns in the flop. If he sees a pattern then he plays holds and bets those cards. Silly ?? Yes
Unpredicatble ?? Confoundingly so.
Actually I could study the flop also and then know what he is doing but that would be surrendering to superstition and the next thing you know I would have a voodoo doll with a deck of cards in it's hand sitting on my desk while I play online.
Although I think his playing style is absurd it has made him totally impossible to read. In some respect that has given him an advantage.
Anyone else play against folks like that ?
Any thoughts ?
I suppose the guy who believes seat #10 is lucky will play very crazy when in seat #10 and very conservatively in seat #8 thus making him rather unpredictable...

Before you flame me,,,
I do not believe in luck, lucky seats, tinfoil radiation protectors, game theory or any of that stuff, I just play folks who happen to believe in that stuff. I wish they would stay at the craps tables.... Then again I wish they keep playing poker with me.
