I would assume that was the case here. I see similar things on Unibet (which is full of people who can barely spell "poker"). Players that are completely clueless and are apparently pressing random buttons sometimes go deep and then give all their chips away, sometimes to the same player, and sometimes to several of them. When I finally get involved in a pot with them, they often win. #Variance
This is usually the assumption I have and I've seen the exact same thing numerous times. Normally I wouldn't even give it a second thought had it not been for how he was playing and shaping up stat-wise. Early on he was playing fairly tight/cautious and not getting out of line but then he made two calls to the same guy that seemed out of character for how he had been approaching almost all of his spots. He seemed to be playing fairly competent almost like a reg but then these two hands didn't fit.
All that said I went back over all of his hands that made showdown just now and I'm pretty sure there's no funny business. He's a rec play clicking buttons. At first he appeared to be one player type but then after enough hands I can see that's not the case #samplesize

I don't think there's anything to investigate here but thank you for the offer. As I mentioned above I reviewed the hands we played with a fresh set of eyes and this was simply a punt by the player in question. Happens a lot at these stakes which I'm well aware of. It just seemed so odd at the time and out of character.
