By admin | January 1, 2008
Tight passive play - Tight and passive player (Rock) will only play when he knows he is in front. Such players play premium hands and rarely take risks. Tight passive players can often be bullied out of the pot/bluffed however if they do call your bet or even re-raise be prepared to fold.
Loose passive play - Play style often adopted by players new to poker. Loose passive players will call most small/medium bets and will probably play any two random cards. You should avoid bluffing against such players because they are most likely to call you. However if you play tight such players can be easy money. All you need is a bit of patience.
Tight aggressive play - Quite similar to tight passive play but you will definitely notice the aggression. Tight aggressive players tend to raise/bet more whenever they hit making it expensive for anyone to chase.
Loose aggressive play - Such players can be quite a pain because it is quite hard to put them on a particular hand. They tend to mix their play and usually have no problem throwing all of their chips in. Such players can be dangerously unpredictable. Some of the best players in the world can often be described as loose aggressive players.
