Tight, fairly passive player that doesn't go to SD nearly enough. They can probably be pushed off decent hands by aggressive opponents. If they bet more than 1 street they likely have good / great hands. The kind of person you want to see flops against with a wide range of hands in position because they'll let you know if you're beat and will often fold the best hand when you bet.

In a nutshell, it means if he calls you all the way to the river you are buggered. Hes got a very good hand.

If he gets active in the pot then be very careful and be ready to lay down your hand if he comes in with a big raise...

People like that can be shoved off the pot if they have marginal hands, but tread carefully because if they have a good hand they will take you to the cleaners....

Best kind of player to bet into cause it's easy to define their hand.

But this player is aggressive both pre and post flop...

What do you thing about his play pre and post flop? are there any differences?

Do you think its wise to bet into a "passive" player who has (relatively ) decent hand selection preflop?

This person goes to showdown 1 in four times when he hits the flop. Is that low for someone who is shown to have post flop aggression?

Total aggression factor is under 2. For me to consider a player this tight to be aggressive it would need to be greater than 3.5.

You list the WTSD stat at 4%. This means that of the 15% of flops this player sees, they go to SD with only 4% of those. In other words for every 100 hands dealt this players gets to SD less than 1 time!

By betting into this player, who admittedly plays only top preflop cards, we're getting him to fold a lot of hands that are beating us and occasionally he'll play back at us and we can either fold when we have nothing or stack him when we've hit a big hand.

I love playing against this type of player because you almost always know where you stand.

Edit: Is it safe to assume this player is you?

If the stats are the same my thoughts are the same, no worries there.

I do NOT use Poker Office, so my analysis is based on how the WTSD stat is reported in Poker Tracker. If you're, as you say, going to SD with slightly less that ~25% of the hands you play, my analysis changes. I still don't think you're aggressive enough overall but I wouldn't play back at you with air nearly as often.

Here is the official statement as to what this Showdown% means.

Showdowns% - Percentage of hands where you went all the way to a showdown, out of all hands

My question is I am still the type of predictable player that you originally thought i was? I do not mind if I am - its just that I want to understand...

Any help is much appreciated.

In a cash game is this good or bad. Will a rock win at 50NL?
