A tighter player is a player who rarely participates in the hand. His main 'weapon' is caution. He does not like to take risks, and prefers to wait for reliable and strong cards. If he receives weak cards, he will discard them, hoping that he will get a stronger hand next time. When a good hand comes up, he will raise the stakes immediately. Therefore, it is easy to be 'discovered' by a more experienced player. His behavior is unconventional and predictable. As a rule, this is usually the way beginners play.

A loose player is the opposite of a tight player. Such a player participates in hands more often. He is not afraid to take risks. He can not only respond to bets, but also raise them. At times, he does not shy away from bluffing. He is able to come out a winner, even with weak cards in hand. Such a player is much harder to 'read'. They are usually already more experienced players.

The aggressive player is the more dangerous type of player. His goal is to take as many chips as possible from his opponents. Often responds to a raise, and not infrequently likes to make a re-raise himself. The most dangerous thing is to understand whether he really has good cards, or it's a quality bluff.

The passive player is the opposite of the aggressive player. He considers his main 'trick' to make calls. Usually he just responds to other players' bets (unless of course they are more than 1/2 of the pot). Even with a weak hand, already in the last stages of the game, he is ready to support your bet. But if he gets a set or higher, expect a huge raise, sometimes a big pot. Such players are quite predictable, and easily 'readable' by more experienced opponents.
