Please explain to me why some players prefer a lot of Rad

[Muppet]

I know there are cards that do this if your radiation is very high:

- Healing
- More Strength
- More Damage

I miss something more?
But i understand this if you go with Melee weapons and with so little stamina it is a bit dangerous?

I use a Serum for increase my Specials in group but i go with all my stamina up and i dont need radiation with my spec.

They are Pro-players? or I dont understand their spec. Please tell me.

It's called a rad buffer. Low health (bloodied) players keep themselves radiated so that they can use stimpaks, vampire's weapons etc without losing damage and SPECIAL buffs they get from low health perks, mutations and Bloodied/Unyielding/Bolstering gear.
EDIT. Some silly typos. :P

Unyielding armor boosts SPECIAL stats - by a lot - the less health you have. The amount of rads makes this easier to manage as you can still use health packs.

Often referred to as a Bloodied or Low-Health build.

Hi. High Rads mean low health....It's for weapons that have the bloodied effect. It provides a boost to the killing/damage ability of that weapon.
You will also need to have unyielding armour as this give +3 to all stat except End when you have low HP.
Generally speaking they work hand in hand...

Unyielding gives +3 to stats when low health. So, at +15 with five pieces of unyielding you have a character that is double any possible stats of non-bloodied players. If you add food buffs, junkies build, cola build, and perks to avoid damage at low health/increase strength (Nerd rage) you end up with some pretty comparatively astronomical stats. So in a word, they are the most Meta players you'll run into.

Full health just can't compete.
