Poker is a game (or better, a mind sport) that englobes several characteristics, such as mathematical, analytical, behavioral, and psychological, making it very difficult to master. As we mentioned before, it is important to study and understand the technical aspects of poker (ranges, betting, odds, etc.), however, because we are playing against other players, we always need to figure out how others think and perceive the game so we can counter measure them effectively.

1. Loose Passive Players
2. Tight Passive Players
