The loose/weak player
The loose/weak player is the typical beginner that only plays the card. He or she often calls to the
river on draws and weak hands that lose most of the time. They also folds too often on the river when
their draws haven’t hit. These kinds of players are among the easiest to play against as long as they
don’t get on a rush and outdraw their opponents.These players are seldom successful and are the players
that will lose the most.
The loose/aggressive player
The loose/aggressive player plays many hands and does always seem to be involved in hands. They see many
flops but they also bluff a lot. Their biggest mistake is to bluff too much, hence the best play is to
induce them into bluffing when you have a decent or even good hand. You are making them do all the work
for you. Check-raising often works well against them since they are not likely to fold when raised.
These players you want sitting to the left of you since they will call you down, bluff if you check and
call many check-raises.
The tight/weak player
The tight/weak players are good opponents since they raise much less than they should with strong hands
and they play too few hands, which creates a big leak for them in the long run. You want these kinds of
players sitting on your right since they will let you in cheap into pots and they are easily bluffed.
Many players create a weak/tight image by playing in games where the stakes are too high for their bankroll
to handle a loss. They become afraid to lose.
The tight/aggressive player
The tight/aggressive players are good players. They play their hands strong, both bluffs and good hands.
This type of player is often an experienced and winning player. If there is a tight/aggressive player at
your table who bullies you around you are going to have to bully him back. Push him back by re-raises
and very aggressive play, force him into playing more defensive.
