#4 The Point Monger

The Point Monger is the player that only cares about making the points in a bar league. They tend to be tight aggressive players early in a tournament but when it gets close to the points they will fold just about any two cards if it helps them make it to the points or to move up a spot in standings. Even if odds say they should play, most of the time this style will fold. Some of the down falls of this style are you can bet this player off their hand late in the tournament even if they are strong especially if you have them covered in chips. This style also rarely wins a tournament as the become so low chip stacked that it is impossible for them to come back. The upside is that in most bar league tournaments this player will qualify for whatever finals the bar league has by making attendance points and getting small point finishes but most are unable to change their style when it comes to the finals to go for the big win. If you are playing bar poker for the social aspect of the game this is a great style to use. It gets you long tournament runs and higher standings in point tournaments.
