Classifications

[-Spike-]

I've been pondering this for some time, but I really haven't seen any definitions on what are these classifications.

By that, I mean;

What defines a fish, a rock, a weak tight player?

Any help in this would be appreciated.

Finally I know the answer and can help somebody!

fish: bad player, Plays too many hands and isn't agressive.
For example a fish might see >30% of the flops and rarely raise.

rock: tight player player that plays few hands. Often unagressive.


weak tight player: player that plays few hands but isn't agressive.

Agressive: raises or check raises a lot.

Along these lines...
What is the 'bozo' called that is just flat BAD? Raises and reraises preflop with any suited cards, caps at the river with bottom pair when A's/K's/Q's are on the board....etc?
Is that a maniac? or a LAG?
I consider a maniac someone who bets crazily but at least has enough sense to know when enough is enough.
Just curious.
