aquarius
jan 20 - feb 18
Types of poker player
Personality Attributes
Aquarii are aggressive, eccentric innovators — and easily spotted thanks to their offbeat fashion. Free-spirited and nonconformist souls, they like to mix and switch styles, and have unusual hobbies.
Advantages
They’re well aware of the rules, but still like to play very loose and aggressive —which makes them extremely tough to play against, especially if they’re on your left.
Disadvantage
The Maniac’s tendency to overplay a hand means you will almost surely show a profit against this type of player, eventually.

pisces
feb 19 - mar 20
Types of poker player
Personality Attributes
Pisces are aggressive, intuitive and emotional, as well as creative, tactical and tenacious.
Advantages
LAG players will play most starting hands, making it difficult to get a read on them — and opponents often wrongly assume, thanks to the loose-aggressive image, that LAGs are bluffing. Aggressive play is a successful strategy, allowing them to win with the best hand or make opponents fold.
Disadvantage
A LAG must be able to know when they’re beaten and fold, otherwise they’ll lose a lot of money.

aries
mar 21 - apr 19
Types of poker player
Personality Attributes
Aries is mathematical and analytical, but can also be passionate, motivated, and confident, with a cheerful disposition and relentless determination.
Advantages
Restriction on the good starting hands, which limits losses and simplifies the game (important for multi-tabling). This is a successful strategy, since a TAG can either win by holding the better hand or by making the opponent fold.
Disadvantage
Due to their tight playing style, the hand ranges of a TAG become easily readable. Attentive opponents will quickly adapt their game, and there is an increased risk of losing the whole stack when holding a strong, but not very strong hand.

taurus
apr 20 - may 20
Types of poker player
Personality Attributes
Taurus, the bull, can be calm, organized and materialistic, as well as resilient and stubborn.
Advantages
If many aggressive players sit at the same table, Taurus can take care of the betting. Against a number of tight and passive players, and if the effective stacks are very large, this strategy can profit from high implied odds.
Disadvantage
Like a Rock, the Calling Station does not get maximum profit from strong hands — and is not sufficiently protecting made hands against draws.
Since this player type also plays too many weak hands, they constantly risk only holding the second-best hand in the game (eg, AT vs AK on a board like K-T-4 or A-J-2).

A LAG must be able to know when they are beaten and fold hands, otherwise there is the potential to lose lots of money with this strategy.
