Do you consider yourself an offensive or defensive player?

I adapt my game according to the opponents I have at the table

Depends on situation. Sometimes you need to attack, sometimes stay in defense. But if I need here to choose one of it, so I like to play safely, so i am defensive player.

It depends a lot on the tournament, when I play in a high buy tournament with reg players I prefer to play defensively so I can extract chips, but I know that in low limit tournaments we should play defensively because of the recreational players!

To become a successful online poker player, it is vital to understand the basics of the game. This includes an introduction to all aspects of poker,...

both, it depends on the hand you have.

Very good question, I think I'm a defensive player

I consider myself a tight player. Well, it's not possible to play wide)

I'm a very offensive player and sometimes I like to use defensive tactics at the table to get a lot of chips. So you have to be careful if they play against me.

I don't play one-sided. That's why I consider myself a versatile player

Basically defensive, I'm not good at intuition. I admit that it is a problem of attitude, but one is already the way it is...

I play very aggressively, but I choose the players I play against. If the opponent is tight, I put pressure on him, but if he is aggressive, I let him tell his story.

Im more agressive than nit but depends sometimes you have to change the strategy.
I think being agressive is better than nit because people usually call more often when they see you playing agressive and u make more chips when u have it.

I think sometimes I don't play aggressively enough, specially when I'm playing a important tournament.

It depends on a number of factors, I believe a variation of both.

Mixed, it depends on the period of the tournament, on my day. Always mixed.

I am a mixture of all player types depending on the situations and the opponents I am up against.

Hello brother

Well, your question is a good one, and it is clear that it is a question from someone who has just started playing this beautiful game that we are passionate about.

There are different kinds of players in poker.

The hobbyist is a player who plays freerolls or plays with chips for free. Let's say that the game is fun for him, as it would be to play cards at his house, or any other PC game.

The recreational. This is a player who invests his money in the game of poker as he would playing in a casino. He doesn't know too much about strategies. For him the game means luck and nothing else. Every play is linked to good luck and bad luck.
This player can be a passive player, or he can be a maniac, that is, a player who with any card will make huge bets on all the streets and is not interested in reloading his purse if he loses. Let's say in general he is a gambler.
This is the player that every regular player is waiting for to come to a table.

The regular. This is a player who is already understanding that the game is not only linked to luck, but also has a series of extra condiments in which he is training, studying and learning, to improve his income in the game and increase your bankroll. This player in the long run understands the variance processes, and in general is a player who grows in the future.
If this player studies and learns, he understands that in poker many times you must be aggressive, other times you must be passive, many times you must know how to fold, and that the game does not depend only on luck. In general, he is a player who does not mind at all playing all the streets until he sees a showdown, if he plays them it is because he is seeing that his hand has enough equity to win it.

And finally, the professional player. Let's say this is the success that every poker player wants to achieve. For him, the game is a passion. He dedicates a large part of the day to it as a job. He records played hands, he studies them, he is a player who doesn't need AA to play, he knows everything there is to know about positions, ranges, equity, variance, etc.
He is the player that when you come to a table, almost none of us would want to play him, unless you get to his level.

Well, I hope I have answered your question with analysis, friend.

Much success

Very well explained Carlos, but you didn't answer the question in the topic.

What kind of player do you consider yourself?🤪😁🤣

Experience in the game if he is still analyzing his actions for the game is priceless. It is not possible to play the same game at different times, you have to be a defender, and somewhere a crazy aggressor. How many times have I noticed the main thing is to put an opponent to sleep or confuse his thoughts.

I am a strategy experimenter, knowing the range of hands and positions well helps in decision making, as for pre-flop aggressiveness, post flop it is easier to read the game, aggressiveness is a fundamental quality in poker, but you have to be used at the right time

Hello Cesar brother how are you so long!!!
For now I consider myself reaching steps close to a regular, according to my explanation.
I still have a lot to learn, but I try to go on that path.
I am studying something that I have never done, and seeing many reports, experiences, etc. of our South American compatriots.
I am very happy to have subscribed to Fabian Pichara's page, who is a great cash game player and an excellent coach.
I am also watching a lot of videos about game situations from Damian Salas my compatriot wsop 2020 champion.
As always, I follow Zeros Poker Elias Gutierrez who does many tournaments on twitch and you can see very interesting game situations.
Between all that soup kkkkkkkkk you always learn something.
hugs brother

In my poker right now, the game is off balance...

stickgame said:

are you more defensive and strategic

Click to expand...

This part of the game lags, but not too much... if the opponent is weak, the defense strategy is good

stickgame said:

or aggressive and rely on luck

Click to expand...

Mostly my style right now is more aggressive, and if I want to win I can't rely on luck (whatever that means).

Reckless donkey play prevails at times... which is also a minus

Attack is the best form of defence. I get more aggressive the better table position I am in.

I am a player who finds myself in both situations depending on the tournament and the stakes of the tournament, but I never rely on luck, I believe that in the game of poker you don't have luck, you have a strategy!
