#11 Tight Agressive

Tight aggressive is a style played by many of the better bar poker players. This player doesn't play a lot of hands yet when playing will almost always raise pre flop. Just because this style doesn't play a lot of hands doesn't always mean they are playing big hands. This player uses position and knows a lot about the other styles of players at their table to use their aggression to their advantage. They know when to make a continuation bet and when to get away from their hand. This player will make the points often in a points league and occasionally win tournaments. They are usually towards the top of any points league as long as they attend regularly. The pluses to this style is that they are smart players and know their competition. They know how to calculate odds and use it to their advantage. They tend to make it farther in tournaments because of their style. The only disadvantages to this style is if they are not getting any cards they have a hard time adjusting to play more hands and if a weaker player thinks they are tight to the extreme and always assume that they have a big hand they might not get as much action on their big hands as they would like. This is my prefered style when playing cash tournaments as I don't get a chance to play at Cardrooms or Casinos much, so I am not as fimilar with the other players as I am in bar poker.
