While each poker player has their own unique playing and decision making style, there are basically only four main categories of players. Belonging to this or that type players have both strong and weak points and all of them have advantages over others in some particular situations. There are at least two main attributes for each of these types. If the player is tight (plays very few hands) or loose (plays a lot of hands): Whether the player is aggressive or passive. An aggressive player raises and bluffs a lot. A passive player prefers to call the bets of other players. Loose-Aggressive Loose-aggressive player is the weakest player especially in online poker game. This player gambles according to the following principle: he raises after every flop. In a real casino such a strategy will allow to win only small pots, but in online casinos they will be only a flop. Loose-Aggressive players attract sharks. The sharks are fine with letting these players have 10 small pots; they are after the three large pots which will eventually break this player. To avoid such results it is better for such players to change tables from time to time. For example, every 50 hands. Loose-Passive This is another weak category. The players of this group will gain success if there are a lot of wild players at the table and everything is determined only by luck. Their strategy is to call the bets of other players no matter how strong their hands are. Unlike other players these ones can stay in the game for a very long period of time. But still even they are not able of beating the house. Tight-Passive What allows players of this type to win is other players who play the game wrong. The biggest weakness of a Tight-Passive player is that they are so easy to figure out. Such players never bluff. If this type of player has a decent hand or a lot of outs, he or she will call your bet or make a small bet. They fold if they have a bad hand. Tight-Aggressive This style can be very successful for online play. They have the following principle of the game: see a flop with a decent hand and then take a shot at the pot after the flop with a bet. Liar's Poker For Free.
