1. Donkey: Used to describe players who play poorly. Skilled players should be happy to encounter these "donkeys" because they can earn a lot of money from them. Donkeys tend to call with a wide range of hands pre-flop, make many bad calls post-flop, and blindly chase after draws regardless of pot odds.
2. Fish: Similar to donkeys, but fish are relatively tighter. They have a tight range pre-flop but often make incorrect calls post-flop. In most cases, fish do not bet and only call. It is difficult to bluff them post-flop unless they completely miss the board. However, once they connect with the board, they will pay off your big hands.
3. Coward: These players are afraid of confrontation and play tight because they fear losing money. If you notice these players betting, it's best to fold unless you have a strong hand. Cowards only bet when they have a strong hand and try to control the pot to avoid bad beats.
4. Shark: The most difficult type of player to deal with, sharks have excellent betting skills. They know when to be aggressive and when to be tight. They understand when they are ahead or behind and know when to fold. However, unless you're playing high-stakes games, you'll usually only encounter one or two sharks at other levels of play.
5. Pre-flop Nit: Similar to a coward, but these players are not afraid to bet big. They just like to play tight pre-flop. Once they enter a pot, you should realize they likely have a premium hand like AA, KK, or AK. When they have a strong hand or a draw, it's hard to scare them off with big bets.
6. Bluffmaster: These players are often young and inexperienced. They think bluffing is cool and enjoyable. However, bluffing too often can lead to bankruptcy. Many newcomers to the industry are overconfident and enjoy bluffing their opponents. However, after bluffing too much, they either learn from their mistakes and become more cautious or enter a vicious cycle of declining skill, leading to bankruptcy.
7. Calling Station: These players play very loose and passive. They play too many hands and always call. They are unable to judge when they are behind, and even when they have a strong hand, they rarely bet aggressively. They are called calling stations because calling is their favorite play. They rarely bluff. They are a group without discipline, often holding on to marginal hands and willing to pay off big pots if you have a strong hand.
8. Habitual Bettor: These players just can't help themselves. They love to bet and will bet at any opportunity. If no one has bet when it's their turn to act, they will definitely bet. They typically bet pre-flop and continue betting post-flop regardless of their position or the number of opponents they face.
9. Hot-headed: Poker is a tense game that can cause players to experience many ups and downs. If you can't control your emotions, you're not suited to play this game. Hot-headed players have good poker skills, but once they start losing, they easily tilt. They don't handle bad beats well. If you see this type of player at your table, you should take advantage of their emotional state.
10. Chameleon: The second most difficult type to deal with, chameleons adjust their play based on the table dynamics. They may start off aggressive, but if they notice that everyone else at the table is playing loose, they will slow down. They are skilled players who know how to adapt to survive. |
