Understanding Levels Of Poker Play
Author: admin
Of course there are many levels and degrees of skill and aggressiveness among players, but to a great degree, skill levels can be grouped into several general categories. We'll take a brief look at each.
BEGINNING/WEAK PLAYERS
Beginning and weak players often share one tendency in common: they play too many hands and stay in pots too long. They place bet after bet into pots they shouldn't be playing because they don't recognize that they are not getting enough value for their wagers. You'll see this type of behavior over and over again among weaker players. In this category, you can also find the rock-the tight player who will play only with good cards. The rock's play is so obvious that all opponents without strong enough hands fold at the very first sign of his activity. But even more prevalent than the rock are the legions of loose gooses, the players who spread money around the pot like it's going out of style.
Weaker players are weaker players for many other reasons as well, but their prevailing feature is that they play too many hands for too long. They'll win more pots than the average player, but at such cost that anything less than really good luck will probably spell losses for their session.
