Full explanation
Loose-Passive describes players who play many hands but rarely raise.
Explanation. These players call frequently but infrequently bet or raise, making them calling stations. They generate large multiway pots and are exploitable with value-heavy hands. Recognizing loose-passive tendencies is essential for value betting and avoiding bluff-heavy strategy where opponents won’t fold.
