HI to all.I have this question in mind that wants to be answered.Would you mind If I ask you a newbie question.
Someone referred to me as an "action" player. What does that mean??

[arcfinn]

someone who like to play many hands.... a loose maybe agressive player, which could either be a good thing or a bad thing, what limit? what table? what type of game? what type of table? where? what kind of player said this?

it all depends

Sorry I never specified. It was at a 5/10 Omaha/8 table. I wasnt even playing that long at the table. I had quads(4's) with no low. Final round of betting. I was sitting on the button and the UTG postion bet into me with one other who called. Naturally I raised..then he reraised!! I reraised then they both called. It was suggested that he raised because he thought i was an "action" player and may have been bluffing. The other player was really upset(KK) about the raising.

but if they saw you had four of a kind what they think you're an action player

I also have the rep of an Action player. It works well for me. I loosen up alot with a big stack and when I am in good position, but only for a short time. The weaker players at the table never notice when I have changed gears. I am always paid off when I hit a big hand. I overplay a hand once in a while in late position and get the label "maniac". It's worth the couple of chips I throw off.

Hehe...yes, I think they were referring to you liking to be in hands and see cards. Nothing wrong with it, so long as you monitor how many chips you're losing just looking at cards even with very little in hand.
