Poker Players vary in type. It has nothing to do with the color of their skins or the religion that they like. It has to do with the personalities that they bring to the poker table.

The loose passive player keeps entering the pot waiting for the miracle hand. He will get it once in awhile but will not bet it up to it's potential. Calling this guy is a good bet. He starts out playing lots of crap hands and ends up following them all the way to the river. They are still crap but he will call you just to, "Keep you honest."

If you run into a guy who is loud, opinionated, and puts the bums rush on all the women at the table you can bet he will think that all of his cards are the best and will not hesitate to bet them. He would not be caught dead limping into a hand. He thinks that, If they are good enough to hold, they are good enough to raise. Just hope that you get good cards while he is playing. He plays aggressively all the time and tends to over value his hand. When you get a good hand, slow play him. He will bet like a maniac and expect to intimidate you with his play. Imagine his suprise when, in the final betting round, you raise.

The best money winner is the guy who plays it tight and is very aggressive when it is time for it. He has read all the players. knows the odds on the hands that they might hold. Knows where his hand fits into the higher Archie and not afraid to risk some money. Is not afraid to vary his betting pattern enough to steal some hands. Look for this guy to bluff an hour or so after he sat down at the table.
