Posted on December 8th, 2006 in General Texas Holdem Poker Strategy by blogger
  1. Loose $$$$
  2. Calling Station $$$
  3. Tight (Rock) $$
  4. Skilled (Shark) $

1. $$$$ Loose players are where most of your poker winnings will come from. There is no need to be tricky against these players. Fold your weak hands and bet aggressively with your strong hands.
2. $$$ Calling Stations are the players that will call with second, third, or even fourth best hands. They don’t really care about kickers and play second pairs. These players will pay you off when you have top pair with high kicker.
3.$$ Rocks - Beginners should avoid these players. You will make little money from them. When you become more experienced, you will learn when and how to bluff these guys out of a pot.
4.$ Skilled - These players are tight at times and loose at times, depending on the situation. You see these players day after day. Avoid these players initially until you pick up on their tendencies, such as when they semi-bluff. Generally, you will make little money from these guys.
