Default Re: Player Archetypes and you.

I find that in SH archetypes are too narrow. I think just developping reads and using stats (beyond just the standard ones) is much more usefull. There are so many players that arent in any of your catagories; for example today I playe with 2 different people who were 60/30 preflop and passive postflop. Which catagory? Also, one had a wtsd of 55 and one was 35, so they actually played completely different games postflop.

You can actually come up with decent catagories by having one for postflop and one for preflop, but this creates 36 catagories. Its so much easier just to never really catagorize anyone, or at least make the bulk of your decisions based on individual stats and reads.
