Some people like passive tables, some love to play against the maniacs to amass chips quickly. What's your preference?

I like to play a good mix of all types of players. A few passives, 1-2 LAG's and a rock. If there are too many maniacs at a table it can get real expensive to play a draw. If there are too many passives then its hard to build a pot (but easier to steal blinds).

Typically, I like a challenge and play against tough tables. Helps to develop your skills and be better able to handle all kinds of situations.

I can stand loosing a hand from a good player, making a good play, using good cards. I absolutely hate it when I get beat by a bad palyer, making bad moves, using bad cards. I suppose thats part of the nature of the game. Anyone can win. But I would much rather lose to a good, tight aggressive player than a loose and stupid maniac.

Sames true on the reverse side. Smacking around a super loose maniac just doesn't feel as good as winning a pot or two from a real good player. It's kinda like a fight, I'd feel good taking out someone that's a seasoned pro than beat the crap out of some scrawny midget thats throwing haymakers at me. Maybe that's just me.....

This is my perfect mix: A table full of mostly weak tight, with a few weak loose, 1 loose aggressive, and 1 tight aggressive (ME ).

I hear you on this point....it makes me nuts, as well. That's why I rarely play with rookies or people who just don't know the game. You can get killed by making the correct play.

At least Doc knows what I'm talkin' about. Thanx for letting me know I'm not too anal.

I dont have a preference to who plays in our games and tourney's any style makes no diffrence it just all adds up to experience you can gain from playing with all types of styles and all types of players from beginners to seasoned pros...

i'd rather play against bad players of any sort. maniacs are fine; when they call a pot sized bet on the turn with their flush draw, that helps me. i find that in that situation, they hit their flush exactly as often as they're supposed to. not often enough to help them, though.

it sucks to lose a big pot to a chump. but they pay off solid players way more than the reverse.

Playing against weak players is the way to win in the long run. Either LA or LP should be good. Just more bigger swings in the bankroll with maniacs.
