7. Bad Player Types

Introduction

In this chapter we will categorize bad poker player types, as well as discuss some broad strategies for playing against specific types of bad poker player types.

Categorizing Bad Player Types

There are three basic types of bad poker players:

Loose Passive

(Loose Passive) Calling Stations

Bad Aggressive (Maniacs)

Loose Passive

A loose passive opponent type is the stereotypical bad poker player. This type of poker player is loose but also passive. A loose passive opponent loves to limp in pre-flop to see flops for as cheap as possible. However, when facing pre-flop aggression, a loose passive opponent will usually fold. Additionally, this type of opponent plays in a fit-or-fold manner post-flop, meaning they will fold if they do not make a made hand or strong draw and will rarely (semi) bluff. A loose passive opponent will only bet or raise pre-flop and post-flop with a strong hand or strong draw .

When you played against a loose passive opponent, you will see him or her limping in pre-flop a majority of the time. Moreover, a loose passive opponent will only raise pre-flop with the top of his or her starting hand range. This type of opponent is fairly common at the online micro stakes and live low stakes. Below are typical HUD stats that you can expect to see from a loose passive opponent.
