Many regular home game players tend to fall into the category of "weak-tight." This designation refers to players who fear variance. These players have very high starting standards for playing hands, followed by weakness in the face of the aggression.
Weak-tight players have three tendencies:
- they enter few hands
- they tend to overbet the pot to win it without confrontation
- they tend to fold under the pressure of aggressive opponents
If you want to be a consistent winner in a home poker game, or in a casino game with this kind of opponent, you need to know how to take advantage of these weak-tight players.
