Poker Thinking for CASH

Presented by BowerCrush

Poker Strategy

Rocks - Killers - Maniacs - Calling Stations

You can use these distinctions to categorize your play (and your opponents' play) into one of four categories:

â€¢ Rocks - These are players who are tight and passive. They don't play many hands, but when they do play a hand, they usually check check or call. "Rocks" often play timid poker, and fold any time they don't have the best possible hand. (The "nuts".)

â€¢ Maniacs - "Maniacs" are loose and aggressive. This type of player is the polar opposite of a rock. Any starting hand will do, and any starting hand warrants a raise. In some games, maniacs can play quite profitably by stealing blinds and antes.

â€¢ Calling Stations - The most profitable type of player to play with is a "calling station". Loose and passive, they play lots of hands but don't raise with them. They usually call bets in hopes that their hand will improve and win.

â€¢ Killers - This is the type of player you should aspire to be. Tight and aggressive. is a winning poker style. Don't play many hands, but when you do get your money in the pot, get it in there as the favorite. Tightening up your play reduces the amount of times that your opponent gets into a pot with you with a better hand, and raising a lot keeps players with weaker hands out of the pot.

Play with calling stations whenever you can. PLAY with calling stations whenever you can!

I am definitely NOT a killer player! I NEED the game to be LOW pressure! If not online, I like a nice fun game, preferably with friends.

I am a combination I think of everything. LOL Now, why would I give away how I play? If I did that I would probably never win a hand. wink
