4. Poker Player Stereotypes
Playing poker in India is much more than just playing your
hand. It is a psychological game, where you meet new
people with differing styles of play and attitudes.
5. These players possess an intricate knowledge of the
workings of the card game, but don’t bet high and hard. At
times, it pays off. Some of the most experienced players
adopt this approach their labours are often rewarded.
The Conservative Player
6. This is a derogatory term for players of online poker in India who call
incessantly call bets and rarely raise, regardless of hand strength. Fish
are sometimes rewarded by lucky cards that compensate for their poor
play, often encouraging them to overestimate their ability.
The Fish
7. The opposite of the fish, these players seldom take risks and only
play hands in the top range. Rocks are content to sit back and
wait for premium cards. These card game players play nothing but
aces, kings, and queens. If you’re re-raised by such players, then
they usually have something good up their sleeve.
The Rock
8. These kind of players do not possess the expertise required to play online
poker in India, and are reluctant to learn more on their own. Newbies do
have enthusiasm and intelligence but are caught out because of their
naivety. Noobs, on the other hand, are completely unwilling to learn the
intricacies of the game and show no enthusiasm.
The Noob
9. With the availability of chat rooms on most online poker websites, players
can now communicate with one another. Loud mouths generally exploit this
feature in order to distract other players and throw off their concentration.
But, in most cases, the loud mouth is trying to have a good time and is
inviting others to participate in a casual discussion. These players know the
card game well but are not heavily invested into it as others.

10. Sharks are perhaps the most cunning players in poker. They
are generally good in every aspect of the cash game and can
adjust their play according to the situation easily. It is extremely
difficult to read such kinds of players. Most sharks possess
unlimited patience and give other players false impressions.
Additionally, sharks can deal with aggressive players well, and
draw out large bundles of money from tables.
The Sharks
11. These players either run the card game table, or are the first ones
out. It is risky to employ this strategy, betting hard on hands at the
beginning of rounds and in turn forcing others to go all in early.
Aggressive players are classified as loners and don’t make friends
in the table very often. They have sound knowledge of the game
and are particularly good at intimidating other players.
