I have met many types of players. However, recently I have been dividing them according to the following criteria:
Agresive - Passive and Thight - Loose.
And mix that combination.
When I start Play poker I was absolutly Agresive loose, because i rise all, call all, i don't care about position. IT is not good style im my opinion because playing like that You must bluff a lot because of playing almost all deals.
I've never been loose Passive - i like risk, i got temperemant which don't suit with Passive style, I AM crazy, funny, dynamic... swe flop, sometimes also turn. And then fold. They call call call fold. The best opponents for me ;)
Tight Passive is good - but not the best. They Play only strong hands but don't rise too much. They don't bet optimum value. They dont't know value of their hand. Moreover sometimest it takes hours to got some KK or AK. That kind of players can just check with strong hand to riva and then bet - when they got 100% strongest hand.
I think this is my level for today. Of course when tilt I AM loose agresive and alwayse game over.
Tight Agresive I would like to be. Play strong hands and bet excacly value as hand is worth. But this is a lot of maths with it. Also You need to know what will be opponents reaction.
So.... Since few weeks I upgrade my game from agresive loose player to tight Passive player (but i AM still loose agresive when tilt)
And now will learn how to be Tight Agresive player.

By the way I Hope more members will put masks down and tell us, how they Play. Maybe IT will be a little bit easy to win against them, or what is more probably - just not to be eliminated so fast.

I consider myself a very aggressive player because I like to have control of my hand and decide what strategy to use with each opponent.

I consider myself to be a completely normal player, not really experienced, not a beginner too. I think im just the mosst average out of every simetric there is in poker. The average of the average.

I cannot say I like to be categorised, as one specific type of player, I believe I am Profitable, but not over aggressive, The great players in Tournaments are the ones that can play tight when they need to be cautious, and Aggressive in other situations. Once you can Identify what type of opponent you are up against, then you can change your playing style to play against them.
Playing passively when you are Strong, letting them take the lead, and let them dig a hole they cannot climb out of is a great feeling when you know they are just bluffing at you.

Great question....came back last year(this time) after a number of years away.

Honestly not really that good of one when it comes to up to date knowledge and studying. The only newish course I bought is Peter Clarke's FTGU last year this time and I never even finished it. Found out I don't need it too still be a winning player from 2nl-50nl. So that means all my poker knowledge is basically still 15-20+ years old...<---yes I'm dead serious.

What I do well is all the following: have patience, bankroll management and mental toughness/tilt control. The only other thing I do regularly is hand reviews of my play so bad habits/plays don't creep into my game and to help understand the player pool so I can exploit them better.

I'm better cash player then MTT player. I don't enjoy cash near as much as the challenge of MTT's though. Go figure lol.

Last but not least I have no idea even after 20+ years how good I really am as a player overall right now. Cash I haven't played much above 50nl online. In the smallish number of bigger buy MTT's I've played over the years I've held my own and I'm profitable but the sample size is small. FWIW I've also never felt uncomfortable playing higher stakes.

So should be a fun ride this time around.


Cheers!!!

I consider myself a medium player, more of a tight aggressive style.

I play whenever I want to play I don't want to play much I won't want to play even harder I play like high in what mood I'm playing, but seriously, I play tight aggressively I think this is the best style of poker and every player will be afraid of you because you're unpredictable, this is the best quality in poker

I have been playing for over 50 years now and in that time I have gone from being a losing player
to being a just better than break even player which is good enough for me. I just enjoy playing poker,
the money is irrelevant to me cos I only play micro stakes.

I am one of the poker players who are strong before the river and weak after the river, as I manage to lose even 99.1% on the river.

I think I'm an medium player. A lot depends on my mood, sometimes I want to play aggressively when I’m in a bad mood and relaxed when I’m in a good mood.:)
