Have you ever noticed the same types of players at your poker tables?
- There is the guy who 3bets a lot preflop and seems overly aggressive.
- Or maybe there is that guy who plays any two cards, and open limps a lot preflop.
- Or what about that guy who hardly ever enters the pot, always waiting for premiums.
Of course, every opponent we run into at the tables is technically different.
But we can’t help noticing that some of them seem to share similar tendencies.
