Poker 5

Definition of loose or tight play in online poker, Texas Hold em is like two men trying to tell what they think a beautiful lady looks like.  Namely, the explanation is in the eye of the beholder.  A general rule would be: A tight player starts the hand with a high pair or with an AK.  A loose player would start the hand with low cards or unsuited K3.  The tight player raises when he feels he has the best of it.  The loose player may rise on the come more than he should; he may call too much on inside straights or full house draws.  He plays too many hands that depend on luck to win and not according to what he currently holds.           
  Both types of players can hurt you when playing online poker, but the tight player is probably easier to play against.  It is usually the tight player you can identify from the Flop and the betting.  The loose player is not easy to read as he may hold anything at any time.  It is his unpredictable play that makes him more dangerous in many hands.  He may not fold when bet against, like the tight player would.  The loose player may play for the miracle draw -- and when he gets it, he puts a bad beat on you.  The tight player will only raise when he thinks he has a sure thing.  This gives you an advantage as you can get out of the hand or at least not re-raise.
