The Loose Passive Poker Player Refresher
The table represents all the possible hands. There are 1326 possible 2 card hands. A very loose passive player might try to see the flop with just a call with over 40% of the possible hands. Everything that is blue could be considered the range that they would call the opening blind in the early stages.
The top 6.5% of hands would still be played but even loose passive types will raise really good cards like AA and KK. When a loose passive type bets with a raise preflop there is a good chance they have a very good starting hand. If fairly certain that you have made a good assessment that they are passive most of the time then the preflop raise should alert.
The loose passive type will call bets on the flop and turn if there is some hope of making a hand that might improve at showdown. If they made any kind of hand they will even call a river bet to see if the hand is good. Because they will call so many bets a lot of value can be gained by betting often with good hands. It's not a great idea to bluff them with little bets because more often than not they will call.
In general this type of play is weak and exploitable. It will normally lose chips by slowly bleeding them away playing to many weak hands out of position. Calling down bets with bad hands from a wide range normally does not work verses the other player types.
