Default Top 10 Poker Personalities

There are 10 poker personality types that seem to make up almost any poker table you will ever encounter. Which personality you happen to be, as well as who it is you are competing against, can become one of the most important factors to winning or losing. Having the ability to “size up” a table quickly can give you an edge over some players, while also serving as an indicator of when it’s time to hold’em, fold’em, or get the heck out of there before you not only lose your shirt, but your pants and socks too!
10. Not Playing With A Full Deck


This is the easiest poker player to deal with because they know absolutely nothing about the game of poker except that it involves cards and money. The most damage these players can ever hope to accomplish is if a little luck happens to come their way, which does happen from time to time. This player folds when they have a weak hand and calls when they have a strong hand; what more could a poker player ask of such an unworthy opponent?

9. The Loot Overloaded Loose Cannon


This is the next easiest poker player to defeat. They always have plenty of money to burn, and their adult ADD ensures that give it up just as quickly as humanly possible. This player would actually appear to play without strategy on purpose, almost as if they are begging you to take their chips so they won’t have to cash them in at the end of the night. These are the same folks who stack crisp clean dollar bills in their latrine instead of toilet paper rolls just to gain the reputation of being a high roller.

8. Tight Fisted and Predictable


Here is a poker player that is always a treat to have at the table because they are as predictable as throwing a hairdryer into a full bathtub. These poker players are never reckless, preferring to play it safe rather than risk the chance of parting with their hard-earned dollars (which they cradle in their wallet as if children). Rarely will they take the initiative to raise the stakes at the table, and not only are they easily bluffed, their actions are so predictable you could almost play each hand for them.

7. The Aggressive Red-Faced Huffer Puffer


This poker player can be a challenge due to the fact that it’s hard to tell if they have a strong hand or if they are just bluffing their way to the pot. While a bit of s**** may be on their side, they are not particularly strategic poker players because they allow their emotions to get the best of them. They often hide behind a false confidence, which should be sized up immediately, once you realize that they have the same wild card attitude with almost every hand. You can usually brush these bullies off as more bluff than bite! Artist: C.M. Coolidge.

6. The Lucky Lou or Louise


Every now and then a player comes along that just seems to have been blessed with luck. No matter how hard you try to strategize against the Lucky Lou or Lucky Louise, the more they seem to come out on top. Some folks believe in the theory of luck, while others claim there is no such thing. No matter which school of thought you happen to come from, if you ever run into one of these folks at a table it is often best to accept your losses and get up and go while the gettin’ is still good!
