Every person is an individual, right? And every poker player is different as well — but still, they tend to fall into certain categories. Recognizing these categories and knowing the characteristics which create them can help you in your game, because you can anticipate what your opponents will do.
Take loose players, for instance. Some are merely loose, some are aggressive. In either case, these types of players tend to play fast and loose. It does not matter if they have terrible cars, they will so go hard. They will not fold for anything, they can be distracting, and the aggressive ones are supremely cocky.
Tight players are just that. The tight player will fold almost every hand, because he is usually waiting to get pocket rockets. Bluffing can lure them in quite easily. Intimidation makes them fold.
Aggressive tight players are very cocky as well. They wait for good hands and fold when they do not have them. Be careful with these players.
