There are four types of playing styles in poker Tight / aggressive, tight / passive, loose / aggressive, and loose / passive. The best players will often change the style that they use to best play against the playing styles of the other players at the table.
However, the style that a player uses most often or which style is their natural style, will usually mirror their personality. Tight / Aggressive is the style that is used by most skilled players, in cash games. In tournaments, because of the increasing blind structure, they will often use various playing styles.
