Start by tightening up your starting hand requirements. If on the other hand you are the loose passive player you need to put your game in check or you’ll continue to donate to the table. Bet when your hand is good and check when you’re unsure of his. Don’t try anything fancy with the loose passive player. Because of this you should be completely straight with them. If the slightest possibility is there that the loose passive player can river that inside draw, they will see it through. Easy money! When facing this type of opponent you need to realize it’s almost second nature for them to call you, regardless of what they hold. Simply put – loose passive players give up their bankroll with a measly struggle.
These players love to check call right to the showdown. The see many flops, call a lot of bets but rarely raise their hands out of concern of loosing. Loose passive players are ideal in any poker game. This works especially well when playing heads up against a TP. If on the other hand, you are playing against someone who is tight passive, increase your level of aggression and force them off their hands. Mind you there is nothing wrong with being a tight passive player, so long as you can pick and choose your spots to really increase the value of those draws when the odds are in your favour. When the tight passive player holds a fairly good hand, you can be certain the tight aggressive player will move out of the way, and because of this, TP players often come up short in being able to extract maximum value from their hands when they do play. Because of this, TP players are easily preyed upon by the tight aggressive player who will force them out of hands quickly, including blinds. These players have the patience to wait out hands, which benefits them when playing against loose players or those who are weaker than them, however when it comes to playing against aggressively – they simply fall short. Tight passive player, or in short TP have as many benefits as they do short comings. There are very few downfalls to playing TAG other than playing shorthanded where players tend to widen their starting hand range, forcing the TAG player to adjust theirs. This is also why you’ll find TAG players generally play less than 20% of the hands dealt to them. They are not only aggressive but also patient and will wait till a premium hand comes their way to maximize their profits and minimize losses. Tight aggressive players are involved in few hands but tend to dominate their opponents when they do decide to get involved.
