Hey- I recently re-read Phil Hellmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros and was reviewing his "player classification." He has five types of players: the elephant, the jackal, the mouse, the lion, and the eagle. While this is fairly helpful to get an idea what you're up against, this book doesn't provide much in-depth analysis regarding approach other than to be careful. I was wondering if anyone new of a better text, or any advice, that may give some more advanced insight into this area. Thank you in advance.

Your next book to read will be Phil Gordon's Green Book. Much more helpful for strategy than Phil's book.

Verneer had some good videos on dealing with different player types on cardrunners. I recommend checking that out

Thanks for the advice. I definitely have to give both a look.

Lol, I forgot about that joke of a book by Hellmuth.
