> Standard Poker Game

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):
Whether the player is aggressive or passive. An aggressive player raises and bluffs a lot. A passive player prefers to call the bets of other players.
Loose-Aggressive
In an online poker environment this is the weakest category. This player gambles according to the following principle: he raises after every 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
This is another weak category. Their strategy is to call the bets of other players no matter how strong their hands are. Unlike other players these ones can stay in the game for a very long period of time. But still even they are not able of beating the house.
Tight-Passive
With the help of bad players at the table players of this type win. The main weak point is that it is very easy to see and notice such players. Players of this type never bluff. If this type of player has a decent hand or a lot of outs, he or she will call your bet or make a small bet. They fold if they have a bad hand.
Tight-Aggressive
This style can be very successful for online play. 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.
