In each of this groups we can distinguish two subclasses.

Tight-Passive players are one of the most widespread type of players. They count only on a solid hands and they will never call or raise if their cards are bad or not strong enough. If you think that there is Tight-Passive player at your table it is recommendable to fold because when this gambler make a bet, you can be sure that his (her) cards are really high. He (or she) is not pleased by the idea to risk for nothing. Unfortunately, if you are a tight-passive player you will be an easy target for the others. One really important thing about this Texas Holdem players type is that they just can not bluff.

Loose-passive players have also some typical features. Usually they call all the bets and for that reason it is not recommendable to bluff them - it just will not work. It is almost impossible for those players to fold if the Flop is on the table. Some people think that these players are not serious rivals because they are not interested in the pot odds, which is a crucial part of the game. The only thing they do is to call regardless the rank of their hands. The best rival for Loose-Passive players are the Loose-Aggressive players.

The third Texas Holdem players type is called Tight-Aggressive players. They do not bluff often, because they used to play only the strong hands, which gives them better chances to win. This type of players can be really uncomfortable because it can surprise you unpleasantly. Be careful when there is Tight-Aggressive player at your Texas Holdem table. If you prefer to play low-limit games, my advice is to play Tight-Aggressively. This player chooses the hands that he (or she) will play very carefully and that is why he (or she) loses really rare.

The last type of Texas Holdem players are the Loose-Aggressive players. Maybe it will be interesting for you to know that some of the most successful Texas Holdem gamblers belong to this group. They raise all the time and that it why some people think that this is a weak group, because this system will bring them only small pots. You can predict their intentions without problems because they do not miss to raise before the Flop and after it.
