Player
Styles
There are various ways to describe the styles of poker players. The
most common segregation is to split them into extremes such as: |
Introduction Styles and hands - Player Style descriptions - Tight/Aggressive style - Starting Hands - Video - Playing the flop - Playing the turn and river Odds and Outs - Count your Outs - Pot Odds - Odds on the Turn and River - Using Percentages - Bet sizing, expressed versus implied odds Rules and terms - How to play a game - Poker hand rankings - Terminology and definitions For futher study - No Limit Hold’em starting hands; the Next Generation - My Aces got cracked! - Can I fold KK preflop? - How to play JJ? - Playing AK, Big Slick - Should I move up to avoid the bad players? Part I - Way ahead / Way behind - What is ABC poker? |
You might
hear these player types referred to by names: Loose/Aggressive =
Maniac, Loose/Passive = Calling Station, Tight/Passive = Rock, or other
equivalent names. Don't worry about the names, what's important is how
the person plays and what that style means. By categorizing players by playing style we can draw a guess as to how strong their hand is as well as a guess as to how we expect them to act or react. We then use this information to help determine how to play against each type of player.
