While each poker player has their own unique playing and decision making style, there are basically only four main categories of players. All these types of players have their own techniques which can be very useful under certain circumstances. Each style is based on two attributes: Depending on the number of hands the player plays with the players can be either tight or loose. Tight players play few hands and loose players play with a lot of hands. Or the player can be either aggressive or passive. An aggressive player has the following features: he bluffs and raises while a passive player calls the bets of other players. Loose-Aggressive In an online poker environment this is the weakest category. This player gambles according to the following principle: he raises after every flop. If playing in a real casino such a strategy works against poor players and allows a player to win only small pots. But in an online casino this strategy will bring nothing but losses. Loose-Aggressive players attract sharks. Sharks let such a player has his small pots, but then they are ready to break this player and win all his money. To avoid such results it is better for such players to change tables from time to time. For example, every 50 hands. Loose-Passive The players of this type can also be said to be weak. 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. These players always call other players’ bets disregarding their strength. 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 These players can win money simply because there are so many bad players in the online poker rooms. Such players are easy to notice. Players of this type 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. If not, they will fold. 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. Online Draw Poker Pot.
