Video overview.
This player types concept video covers the 6 different types of players you will come up against when playing NLHE cash games and how to beat them. The 6 general types of players are:
- Nits – Rocks
- Tags – Tight-aggressive players, Regs
- Lags – Loose-aggressive players
- A-Fish – Aggressive fish, Maniacs
- P-Fish – Passive fish, Calling stations
- Unknowns
The 6 types of poker player you will come up against.For each of these different players types, SplitSuit goes over:
- How to identify the type of player (occasionally using VPIP/PFR stat examples).
- How to play profitably against them.
- A few hand history examples of how to play optimally against them.
As mentioned, this concept video includes a fair amount of references to stats, so if you're not familiar with all that stuff then you'll want to check out Split's HUD Ninja video and/or my VPIP and PFR stat articles.
This isn't an all-encompassing strategy video tutorial to beating any and every cash game poker player. It's more of a general guide on how to play more optimally against the various types of bad players in Texas Hold'em cash games.
It should help you to build a solid foundation and improve your strategical approach to the different players and playing styles that are out there.
