That's because those are the players who don't belong to any forums and for the most part are donkeys.
If you look at the later stages of tourneys, that is where you will find most TAGs.
Those are the ones who read poker books and/or belong to one or more poker forums.

Every one likes to think they're tight-aggressive, because that's the accepted standard to shoot for. But I think from time-to-time we all fit into all the categories. And really, you should, if you're properly reading and adjusting to the table you're playing at the moment. If the table's playing like Stonehenge, it's time to go maniac on them for a while and drag a few blinds and small pots. When the lemmings start rushing toward the cliff, slow back down and pick them off. One of the greatest pleasures in poker is watching the table follow your leads like the Pied Piper, with you staying a gear ahead of them.

I voted for all of them because I do/have/will change up my game based on circumstances. There is no cookie cutter strategy that will work 100% of the time.

Now thats its been a while the poll is looking a little bit more realistic. At first everyone was saying they were tight aggresive and I found this really hard to believe.

I'm glad to see we have one maniac player, he always makes the tournaments fun, lol!

Good luck at your tables

I'm not sure what the heck I am , I thought I was tight aggressive ,but really have no idea and now I think I might be passive-aggressive ,I checked some of the sites others talk about (sharkscope and others ) and they list me as pure fish. I dont think they are keeping good track (lol) of me lately. I think the best judge of your style will come from the people that play with you.I think I am a big fish but lucky for me there are more little fish in the water than sharks.

I tend to be loose aggressive - loose in the sense of seeing more flops with marginal hands prior to the flop. However, as others have mentioned, it depends on the game and situation. I'll tighten up in a loose game. I dont come accross the true maniacs a lot - but sometime I admire their play. I dont have the courage or bankroll to cope with their ups and downs!

I tend to play tight aggressive MOST of the time. Heheheheh. Adapting to the circumstances is very important though; one must be flexible in their style. Onward and upward I say!!!
