Tight-passive poker players tend to fare poorly in No-Limit Poker. They tend to win when they read bluffs and have strong hands, but do not get full value for hands. They are common, since many players hate to lose money, and can be managed into becoming callers and folders. Loose-passive poker players do not last too long in No-Limit Poker because they call too often with the second-best hand, and lose too often to stick around.

Extremely loose-aggressive tend to buy pots, but will get trapped, and lose quickly, to other aggressive players. They are attracted to the action, but get trapped very easily. Loose-aggressive poker players tend to lose big, but also win a lot of pots and win large pots in showdowns. They learn to make good reads on opponents and time their bets accordingly. Tight-aggressive poker players tend to get chased out of flops too early, and become easy to read. They can be taken down in bits; be patient and wear them down.

Showdowns
Showdown percentage is important in No-Limit Poker. Since bluffing is quite prevalent, players can do well by stealing pots from passive opponents. Determine how many hands are going to showdown before playing. This is easy to do in online poker; statistics provide this information, as well as the size of the pots. More showdowns are better because you can make more money when other players call you with average hands. If you have a strong hand, bet the size of the pot and allow other players to call your bets.

Playable Hands
The types of hands you play will be affected by implied odds. When you have big cards, try to take down the hand at the flop with a convincing bet. However, if you think that you are winning due to a strong flop or have a better kicker, then you may want to slowplay the hand. Strong hands are suited connectors and pairs. Pocket pairs hold up well because you can do well when you hit the set or have an overpair, which is an unexpected hand. Low suited connectors are good hands to make money on when you hit the flop. Semi-bluffing is effective when you have a low straight draw with a face card on the board; when you bet at the pot, players tend to focus on the high card.

Betting Tactics
The goal is to always look at extracting as much money as possible from your opponents without scaring them off with an oversized bet. You want to go after players who have a made hand that is weaker than yours, and make drawing players pay heavy to chase the straight or flush. If you have a flush draw, then a bet of about half the pot is a good-sized bet. It will chase off other players with nothing, but will encourage a player with an Ace to chase. As a result, you get a cheap look at the next card and can make them pay dearly if you hit the flush.
