Experienced players know very well that playing poker depens on who is your opponent. If we could uncover poker tricksof our opponent, get into his mind and start thinkng in his way then our chances to win the game would have arisen.

It is worth to know a few most common descriptions of the players. Of course every opponent has got his own style, individual style of playing, the descriptions below are just the simple examples. With the careful observation our opponents, it could be very useful. Remember only the acutely observation of your opponent's behaviour will let you to discover his style and to choose the right way to beat him.

Loosse- passive / always in a kitty/

This is a player who has already learnt that in Texas Hold you can win with any cards. Before flop almost always you have to add to the stake and after the flop you can play up t river. He is not used to thow the cards and with a very slim chance he believesthat the last card will let him win. English name for this player is 'calling station / he always calls the bet/. On the other hand this player very seldom will decide to put more money for the stake.

You'd better do not try to bluff against him – he hates throwing the cards.

Loosse-aggressive / maniac/

People are so used to call them 'maniacs' and this word is actually enough to describe them. They play every hand, they love to put the stake up without any hasitation. They love to bluff and the amount of tokens they have differs so much during the game. They can play aces / A,A/ or weak hand /e.g. 7, 2o/. Meeting this kind of player will give you lots of emotions.

Tight-passive / rock/

Very careful player, his credo is ' to get 2 good cards and win with them'. He is so predictable , he never bluffs. It is difficult to win the money from him, he only plays with the strong order.

Tight-aggressive / shark/

Type of the player who do not takes part in many hands but when he goes in then he takes control over the game. In the right moments herises the stake, he also provokes the others to make a mistake. Very dangerous type, it is better to avoid him.... unles it is only you playing the shark's rules.

In the end it is worth to mention that some of the players can change their style on purpose and almost always they are very dangerous opponents. You have to watch them very carefully. They can change rapidly if they get nervous or have ot got the right cards, it is called 'tilt', the player starts playing badly which is caused by previous failures.
