Aggressive players are those who will come over the top on your bets and push you in with absolutely nothing if the sense weakness in your hand. They thrive on action and are usually the ones who will control the speed of the game because they are able to instil pressure on their opponents with each hand they play. An aggressive player often loses to traps and can be tricked easier than a tight player. They have no fear in pushing their chips into the middle and often will make the mistake of bad timing.
Tight players are the opposite and will wait for their hands. They are easy to spot since they will play only premium starting hands. The problem with this scenario is the pots they do win are either very small or uncontested since most players have been able to spot their play. These players tend to bubble more often than anyone else since they can’t seem to get over their “safety net”.
Weak players call. They will call any hand, bottom pair or not all day long. These players play more hands than most other players and very rarely can you push them off of a hand, so playing with top pair strong kicker may not hold to the river if a loos player is in the pot. They do not care about odds or will completely misunderstand what their odds are. A weak player is not the player you want to bluff or slowplay since this could backfire on you.
