Play Free Poker And Win Money From Every Player On Your Table

In this article I'd like to share my core free online poker tips with you. You will learn about how players have different play styles and how you can combat each type and then go on to you position at the poker table and how you play each position.

Different kinds of Players

The Call Station.
These players likes to see a flop doesn't bet or raise he only calls or checks until the river that is why they are labelled as Call Station. Play a normal game with decent hands and you'll get money out of them, just one exception, no bluffing as they will, as the saying goes, call your bluff! Another name for the calling station is Loose-Passive.

Rocks.
The rock is a simple, careful player who does not want to play any more hands than necessary and so only plays strong hands.

This player can easily be bluffed. This players favorite action is folding or calling if he has a premium hand. If a risk calls your bluff respect the call as he won't be counter bluffing you. The risk is also known as Tight-Passive.

The Maniacs.
These players are the ones who bet and raise all the time and love to bluff a lot. They'll frequently move all-in preflop with no fear. The maniac is to be found on many free poker online and micro stakes sites. Only call a maniac if you have a premium hand. Don't bluff them as they'll counter you right back with no hesitation. Maniacs are also called as Loose-Aggressive.

The Solid Player.
These players are sometimes be called the professional players. They understand poker inside out and know a lot of tactics for all occasions and will be trying as hard as you to identify your play style. They can sense any poor bluff and will move all in on it and they know when to fold and get out. They don't play on luck or for fun, they play strategically and understand probability. The Solid player is also called a Tight-Aggressive.

Position
Position is often the key to getting the most of poker. If you don't know how to play by position then you are playing poker blindly. An QK might look great to call however its really not too good if you're the first to act and the other players are awaiting your action.

Early Position.
This position describes the first player to act ahead of the flop. This position follows the blinds.

There 2 early positions in a table of 10 players. In this position you are at a great disadvantage to other players due to not enough information on the table. It's always best to be tight in this position and raise with only good hands such as AA, KK, QQ, AK and fold anything else. Why? As you lack information on the other players and calling a lot of hands would risk you putting all your chips into the pot. Always raise.

Middle Position.
There are 3 middle positions in a 10 player table. In middle position you will have a little understanding on the other players.

It's always best to play at least semi loose but still be mindful as there are still other players waiting in line. Hands that can be played in this position are 88 to AA and suited connector cards like 89 diamonds. Make sure to know when you are beat at the flop and fold your hand. Re-raise only if you think that you have the best hand.

Late Position.
Usually this position is the most advantageous. Why? As you have maximum information on the other players. You are able to play many cards in this position if the pot hasn't been raised.

Call with unsuited or suited connectors, suited cards, small pairs like 22, 33, 44 and practically any card as long as you know what the other players are like. This is when bluffs are likely to be successful.
