As we already know from the last article, there are six main categories into which poker players can be divided: Tight Passive, Loose Passive, Tight Aggressive, Loose Aggressive, Maniacs, Solid. So how do you play against a player once you have identified his type ?
If you decide that a player is Tight Passive. If a player is in this group, he probably plays very few hands and rarely plays aggressively, so you should play a lot of hands and aggressively against him, but when he does CALL, or in rare cases BET, RAISE or RERAISE, know that he probably has a very strong hand or combination, so beware. Loose Aggressive strategy is good against this player.
If you decide that a player is Loose Aggressive. If a player is in this group, he probably plays a lot of hands, makes a lot of CALLs and rarely plays aggressively, and when he does play aggressively, he probably has a strong hand or combination, so beware. Tight Aggressive strategy is good against this player.
If you decide that a player is a Maniac. If a player is in this group, he probably plays a lot of hands and is very aggressive. Against this player, you need to get a medium to strong hand or combination and play passive CHECK/CALL, because he will pay anyway by playing a super aggressive style.
