Types of Poker Players
Most poker players fall into one of four categories, and once you're experienced enough, you'll be able to place your opponents into particular groups very quickly. This is a detailed definition of the different types of poker players you'll find. As you play poker online you should try to pick up as much information about a player to accurately place them into a category.

Types of Poker Players :
Tight-Passive
A tight-passive player is one that won't raise or call unless they have a very strong hand. This type of player is normally best suited for limit Texas Holdem poker games and will very seldom take a risk on their hand. If a tight passive player calls your raise – you'd better have the courage to backup your bet.
