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:
If the player is tight (plays very few hands) or loose (plays 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. The main feature of such a player is that he raises every time 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. Sharks are often attracted by such players. 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. The only advice here is not to stick to one and the same table. It is better to change tables every 50 hands.
Loose-Passive
The players of this type can also be said to be weak. These players can only make money in a game with a lot of wild players and generally have to depend on luck to have a successful poker session. They typically will simply call the bets of the other players disregarding the Pot Odds or strength of their hand. 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 is the best type among all others. These players will only see a flop with a decent hand and will then take a shot at the pot after the flop with a bet.
