This is a compilation of low limit Texas Holdem players who play
at Party Poker and Empire Poker. Each of these players play on
the $25 and $50 buy in No Limit tables. This list was compiled
after observing over 30,000 hands with Poker Tracker. Using it
will help your table selection so you can figure out who you want
to play with, and who you want to avoid. The players have been
broken down into their respective classifications in the links
below. Only the people who represent a large +EV or -EV are represented
here. Many of the basic ABC players who play slightly too many
hands, don't play too passive or too aggressive are not listed
yet.
Are you on this list and you don't want to be?
Maybe you don't want other people to avoid you or to seek you

Calling
Stations These are players who play a lot of hands and play
them passively. You won't see them raising either preflop or after
the flop very often. They tend to call you down with losing hands
in order to "keep you honest" They are my favorite players
to have at a table. They one most important rule of thumb is don't
bluff them, but if you have a halfway decent hand bet it.
Fish These players
see a lot of flops and then check/call. If one comes out betting
it means that he has a hand. They tend to lose a lot of money
over time and I want them at my table. I play against them by
loosening up my starting hands a little bit (so that I am seeing
about 20% of the flops) and playing very aggressively when I hit
Rocks These
players are very tight and play passively. Will fold if they don't
hit anything and may not bet when they do hit. You can often take
their blinds, but it is hard to take them for a big pot because
they only get involved with good hands. I am neutral whether I
want them at my table or not. I would play against them by picking
on their blinds and bluffing more often. I wouldn't call their
bets without a great hand of my own.
Tight
Aggressive Usually recommended as the best playing strategy,
I try to avoid them if I can. They don't play too many hands,
but bet a lot and often when they do. Be prepared for bluffs and
check raises as well as blind stealing. I would play agains them
by tightening up, but playing the hands I play very aggressively.
I would call them down more often than rocks because they can
often make multiple bluffs at pots.
Maniacs These
players play lots of pots and bet the hell out of them. They can
be profitable to play against, but be prepared for large swings
in your stack. I play against them by folding bad hand after bad
hand and then betting/trapping when I hit a good one.
