5. The Aggressive Loan Shark with an Overbite

This is a relatively good poker player, who is not yet an expert at reading their opponents. They spend the majority of their time trying to build the perfect hand, focusing the majority of their play on poker technique and etiquette. While they are often more strategic than the Red-Faced Huffer Puffer, they do however have a very similar style of aggressive play. They are fun players to have at your table because you can always count on them to keep the action rolling, but they are no match for the Natural Poker Clairvoyant. Artist: C.M. Coolidge.
4. The Lucky Lou or Louise
 

Every now and then a player comes along that just seems to have been blessed with luck. No matter how hard you try to strategize against the Lucky Lou or Lucky Louise, the more they seem to come out on top. Some folks believe in the theory of luck, while others claim there is no such thing. No matter which school of thought you happen to come from, if you ever run into one of these folks at a table it is often best to accept your losses and get up and go while the gettin’ is still good!
3. The Natural Poker Clairvoyant

Here is a player that can come from little experience, but can cause a lot of trouble at an amateur table. Some people are just naturally gifted at reading other people, and the Natural Poker Clairvoyant can read most players with the greatest of ease. They pay attention to the little signals that players unknowingly provide, such as pinching their left ear before a bluff, or sniffing their nose when they receive a favorable card. Knowing who these players are should give you ample warning to be on your best behavior.
2. The Cool Hand Luke

Nothing seems to phase the Cool Hand Luke, and they are very skilled at hiding their poker personality. These players are dangerous because they are difficult to place in a category, so you never really know what you are going to get. They could be a Testosterone Injected Tree Sloth; but then again, they could also be just a Loot Overloaded Loose Canon. The old saying goes, sometimes it’s the quiet ones you have to watch out for, and many experienced poker players have found this out the hard way.
1. The Ringer

The Ringer is a clever player that relies on the fact of being perceived as a bad player so they can be taken off the radar of other players. Once off the radar these players busy themselves, learning everyone’s signals. Then, when the time is right they suddenly turn into Playing With a Full Deck and they commence to clean out everyone, claiming their good fortune as nothing more than passing luck. These folks are the reason you should never overlook any player at a table, no matter how insignificant they seem to be.
