Loose Passive/Passive |
>= 35 |

| Fish |
When you have a Fish at your table you know they are going to be playing just about every hand except perhaps the
very worst ones. They will not be aggressive before or after the flop even if they have a decent hand. If you do get raised by
a Fish, they likely have a very strong hand. Beware of small straights and weak flushes! |

Loose Passive/Aggressive |
>= 35 |
<= 4 |
> 1.3 |
| Elephant |
Smells just like a Fish before the flop, but when their hand improves they play more aggressively. |
 |
Semi-Loose Passive/Passive |
>= 24 && < 35 |
<= 7 |
<= 1.3 |
| Telephone |
A Calling Station is very hard to put on a hand. They raise with only their best hands (AA, KK, AK) and rarely lay down even a bottom pair after the flop. These players never lay down a small pair and will often frustrate you when they improve on the river. |
 |
Semi-Loose Passive/Aggressive
| >= 24 && < 35 |
<= 7 |
> 1.3 |
| Donkey |
Plays like a Calling Station before the flop. These players will raise and re-raise when their hand improves. These players can be very effective bluffers. |
 |
Loose Aggressive/Passive |
>= 35 |
> 4 |
<= 1.7 |
| Monkey |
Another player that plays like a Fish, except that this player will raise with a wider range of hands before the flop (AK-AJ and big pairs). |
 |
Loose Aggressive/Aggressive |
>= 35 |
> 4 |
> 1.7 |
| Tazmanian Devil |
These players play a lot of hands, raising with suited connectors, low pairs and sometimes with any two cards on the button. They also tend to bet and raise after the flop even if they haven't improved. |
 |
Semi-Loose Aggressive/Passive |
>= 24 && < 35 |
> 7 |
<= 1.7 |
| Pig |
These players like to play a lot of hands, but are usually disciplined after the flop. They tend to only bet and raise after the flop when their hand has improved. They will often fold when a "scare card" falls. |
 |
Semi-Loose Aggressive/Aggressive |
>= 24 && < 35 |
> 7 |
> 1.7 |
| Bull |
Similar in style to the Pig, but will often bet when they flop a flush or straight draw. They often attempt to get a free card after the flop. |
 |
Tight Passive/Passive |
< 24 |
<= 7 |
<= 1.3 |
| Rock |
Rocks are very tight players. If a Rock raises, you should fold all but the best hands. These players often fold unless they have made at least top pair - and by nature they always have a good kicker. |
 |
Tight Passive/Aggressive |
< 24 |
<= 7 |
> 1.3 |
| Mouse |
A Mouse is like a Rock before the flop, but they are much more aggressive after the flop. These players can get themselves into trouble after the flop with unimproved hands like AK, or a medium pocket pair with one or two overcards on the table. |
 |
Tight Aggressive/Passive |
< 24 |
> 7 |
<= 1.7 |
| Gator |
Similar to the Mouse, but can be tricky! Raises with a lot more hands and sometimes slowplays a good flop. Will bet or raise for free cards. Plays cautiously on coordinated boards, but rarely folds heads-up. A difficult opponent to play against. |
 |
Tight Aggressive/Neutral |
< 24 |
> 7 |
> 1.7 && <= 2.2 |
| Eagle |
The Eagle is what many players aspire to be, and nobody wants to play against. Plays premium hands aggressively. Understands pot odds, value bets and makes very few mistakes. Avoid tables with Eagles and Spiders. |
 |
Tight Aggressive/Aggressive |
< 24 |
> 7 |
> 2.2 |
| Spider |
Spiders have some of the same good attributes of Eagles, but can often get caught trying to narrow down the field with marginal hands after the flop. When effective, they can get many players to lay down the best hand post-flop. |
