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.
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):
If the player is aggressive (raises and bluffs) or passive (calls other players bets).
Loose-Aggressive
In an online poker environment this is the weakest category. These players are constantly raising before and after the 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. 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
The players of this type can also be said to be weak. These players always call other players’ bets disregarding their strength. Such players can stay in the game longer than anybody else, but they will never be able to beat the house edge.
Tight-Passive
What allows players of this type to win is other players who play the game wrong. The main weak point is that it is very easy to see and notice such players. Such players never bluff. This player is more likely to call the bets of other players or to make small bets. 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.
