3. Types of Poker Players : (Rick Braddy http://www.texas-
holdem-net.com/types-of-poker-
players.html)
Tight-Passive
A tight-passive player is one that won't raise or call unless they
have a very strong hand.
type of player is normally best suited for limit ig,laftlgidgfff-
,!:8keI and will very seldom
risk on their hand. lf a tight passive player calls your raise
you'd better have the courage
backup your bet.
Loose-Passive
Loose passive players are also known as "calling stations". They
callany bet you place and it's
best to avoid bluffing these players. They'll very seldom fold
once they've seen the flop.
Tight-Aggressive
5. These players will only bluff occasionally. They only play good
hands and once they've got that
hand they'll bet aggressively. Beware when this player raises he
could end up taking a huge
chunk out of your stack.
Loose-Aggressive
Some of the mostfamous poker players are loose aggressive.
These players have no problem
going "all-in", but the best loose-aggressive players will mix up
their aggressive and passive
play, it's hard to read their hands. They go all-in with a pair of
aces or just a simple 7, 3. These
are the high-rollers of Texas Hold em poker.
Now allyou need to do is begin by placing yourself in one of
these categories, then go to the
online casino and see if you're can spot the different types of
poker players and then play your
strategy accordingly.

20. This informative speech should inform the audience about a
relevant topic of interest.
In this speech, you will be informing the audience with new
information, new insights, or new ways of thinking about a
topic. You might introduce listeners to new ideas, events,
people, places and processes (O’Hair, 2004).
The goal of informative speaking is to increase the audience’s
understanding or awareness by imparting knowledge. Your
speech might be an in-depth analysis of a specific topic, a
simple description of a topic, or an overview of a topic.
All informative speeches have an identifiable introduction, body
and conclusion. You will include at least three cited references
during the speech. You also need to incorporate one visual aid.
Introduction: The introduction should compel the audience to
listen (with an attention-getter), reveal the topic and thesis
statement (goal of your speech) and provide a preview. The
preview will be an overview of the main points.
Body: Most informative speeches should contain no more than
three main points, organized in a way that helps the audience
make sense of the message. Once the main points and
organizational pattern are set, identify what evidence supports
which main point and place these sub-points in the correct
location. For this short speech, one or two main points are
sufficient.
Conclusion: All informative conclusions should include a brief
summary of the main points. No new information should be
given to the audience in the conclusion. An effective
conclusion leaves the audience thinking about the speaker’s
message.
21. Outlining the Informative Speech: A detailed outline is
mandatory and should follow the example attached. The outline
you turn in to the instructor must be in full-sentence format and
typed. Your speaking outline (note cards) must be in phrase or
key word format and include three citations. (Quotes,
transitions, and specific citations, as well as introduction and
conclusion may be stated in full sentences.)
