Party $1/2 Limit Hold'em
The read went beyond the basic descriptions of loose/tight...aggressive/passive. It was kinda cool, once I figured out what she was doing I just made a slight adjustment and she never bothered me again. And when I wasn't involved in a hand with her, I could enjoy the whole situation as she confounded all the players new to the table ( and some of the ones who were there for a while). Every player new to the table lost the first hand they were in against her that had a showdown.
It was how she handled preflop raises. She would cold call, with anything. The pot would generally then be contested between 2 or 3 players. Reading the raiser as having two big cards, she would then outplay folks from the flop onward. Betting/raising/calling if she had any piece of the board; and folding if any ace or two broadway cards materialized (unless she held those cards).
Anyhow, this is the first time something like this has been so clear to me. Just wanted to share.
