While loose, aggressive games generate the most action, they can be frustrating too. A gaggle of players in each pot mean more money when you win, but so often someone who shouldn’t be in the pot seems to catch a miraculous card and beat you. Sometimes there’s a maniac in the game too. He’s the kind of player who raises almost all the time, regardless of whether he has a hand or not. But more money is in play on every hand, and it’s going somewhere.
