Player type terminology: Nit, Rock, Mouse - is there a difference?

#1 30th March 2011, 9:03 AM

I've seen the terms "Nit", "Rock", & "Mouse" used a lot in the forums to describe very tight (& usually passive) players. I'm just wondering if they are all interchangeable terms, or if they refer to somewhat different playing styles?

Well there is already confusion with inferring tight is also usually passive - NOT THE CASE.

This should help.
