Playing Styles of Poker Players

The foundation for success at the tables is to know your opponents’ playing styles. Solid reading and understanding your opponents’ gestures and styles enables you to take advantage of their weaknesses. 

Remember that no matter how an opponent plays, there is always a way to defeat his playing style.

Four (4) Playing Styles
Loose-aggressive - to play loosely, which means to play a lot of hands and to play aggressively, which means betting and raising frequently.
Tight-aggressive – solid hand selection, strong position play, aggressive no prisoners raising
Loose-Passive - usually call the bets of the other players regardless of their hand or the associated pot odds.
Tight-Passive - extraordinarily tight with hand selection and will often fold extremely good hands depending on the position at the table.
