Great explanation of types of players. Now, I just need to remember and try to identify them at the table quickly before they take my chips.

[DAWEAP]

Thanks Fedor. This is some of the best advice out there!

the "Chinese aggro whale button pusher" is my favourite colour code

[chuckgary]

This is all theoretical. In real life, most hands involve multiple players with different styles. So if you're at the turn with one calling station, one nit and another style, playing the correct strategy against the calling station becomes the wrong strategy against the nit and you're the one that becomes exploitable. So whats your strategy when you are faced with multiple different types of players pre-flop to river?

Player type #12 the punter, special team player of the week every week, in multi table tournament they think they need to get a big lead in early stage to survive later in the tournament, these players are a limited resource and won’t be around too long for you to take advantage of.

would love more animations in the video that ilustrate what fedor is explaining and less cuts. i dont need 2 camera angels of Fedor sitting on a coach with cuts every second 🌚

I think selfawareness and steadyness is what crushes souls.
Image is all, and being able to perceive your own image is what is most important.

When i was caught bluffing 2 times, i will bluff only 1/10 times instead of my usual 7/10 times.
When i showed down multiple strong hands, i start bluffing even more.
When i was caught valuebetting with a marginal holding, i can bluff over the top and just adjust the potsize to give them the idea that this one has to be stronger than my usual top pair on a coordinated board.

There are so many twists and so many little things that give weight towards your opponent´s decision, you gotta keep track of what you do rather than looking too hard at what the opponent does.

And while having this variety in your game, be sure to still have a foundation. Be steady.
Dont stop 3 betting, dont stop c-betting and dont stop to go for value if there is value to be had.

Sometimes you will raise a straight on the river, make it big and lose to a flush. Sometimes they will go all in, most of the times they will just call you. And when you bet on the river, ask yourself what bet you would call anyway in case the opponent bets, so bet exactly that.

They just need to have a flush blocker and a pair to call you, and that is where calling ranges on the opponent side start.

Wow. What incredible advise vs the 'nit'. Well done. Thank you.

[FbodzRyuji]

Great content, but will be pretty much appreciated if you explain with video examples of certain plays and analyze from there, like how you do it for your other videos. 

Most of the time i couldnt understand what you are talking about here.

[Riverkingdan]

Great breakdown of categorizing players.

[bennychua]

Super great content I note down everything on my notes for reminder ❤thanks fedor

[miker]

"Calling station", I love it

[rikkistarrett]

I would say I'm a solid regular. You've basically just described me to a tee, but I'm reading, learning, and trying to improve :)

[jimmykoh]

It would be nice if U add in the poker hands into the video, so the audience can visualize better n commit into memory after watching more than once :)

[naga]

How you explained the solid regular was on point.

There is simply no variation in their game, and it is somewhat easy to absorb them into your game.

You just do 5x sizings where someone normally would do 3x sizings and they suddenly are forced to either get out of their comfortable game or leave the game.
Eventually they are fed up and play your game, one they are unfamiliar with, with the twist that they have no clue what they are doing.
And it takes a ton of hours to adjust to something like that.

[JERELSALSERO]

good example is the player Micha Hoedemaker : an example as you called an "solid regular' play to win only just small itm after bublletime

[checkfold]

just found your channel a couple weeks ago but I love watching your stuff. Thanks for putting all this out there for free for us noobs!

[georgekatcharava]

OMG this video is so helpful! thank you so so so much Fedor!!! i'm so much better now after this...

[maverick]

Great video. I myself have 5 classes I color code players online in order from tightness, 1) tight nitty, 2) tight solid, 3) moderate, 4) fishy/loose/aggressive, & 5) the donkey loose/aggressive. When you watch how someone plays for a little while, you get a good feel for the category they fall into.

One of the best informational videos from a top pro. Danke!!
