Default Weak and Strong players

What does a strong or weak player exactly describe?

I hear this term being thrown around, and I still don't know what it specifically describes. Does a weak player mean he's not perceptive like a strong player would be?

Thanks in advance.

Most people use the terms weak and strong interchangeably with good and bad.

I know I also often use the term weak to mean passive, but I don't necessarily use the word strong to mean aggressive. For me, strong means good.

Default no



winning players are not always strong players and vice versa, alot of things go into being a strong player, vp$ip, total aggression etc etc. A losing player could be a very strong player but just on a real bad run. Take bdawg for instance, bdawg is a very very strong player but because of his last run you would think he was a weak player but he really isnt.

on the flip side there is a player named ##$*% who is a very very weak player but hit it big and got on big rush and now he is very very up. All in all he is weak but if you looked at his bankroll you would think he is the next JD.


If you log enough hands with someone you can see by their overall stats if they are weak or strong.
