Against weaker players , whose hand-reading skills or general poker ability is not of a high order, you’ll usually make the most money by adopting a straightforward style where you just aim to exploit the holes in their game to the maximum.

If they are too loose, you can make big bets and raises with your strong hands for value; too tight and you can play aggressively and force them to surrender more hands than they should.

If they themselves are too aggressive you can trap them easily. If too passive you can take them on when they are out of position or in spots where stronger players would punish you.
