Rock
A very tight, conservative player who only plays premium hands.

What Is Rock?
Rocks are similar to nits in that they fold the vast majority of hands, rarely bluff, and only enter pots with strong holdings. Their predictable, straightforward style makes them relatively easy to read and exploit through frequent blind stealing and folding to their aggression, though they rarely make costly mistakes themselves.
Examples
Everyone folded when the rock finally raised after sitting out of pots for over an hour.
He targeted the rock's blinds repeatedly, knowing she would fold to nearly any preflop pressure.
Strategy Tips
Steal blinds and pots from a rock aggressively, since their tight range rarely defends without a strong hand. Fold to a rock's raises unless you hold a genuinely strong hand, since their range is heavily weighted toward premiums. Avoid bluffing a rock who has already shown aggression, since they typically only continue with real strength. Watch for rare situational loosening, such as a rock defending their big blind more often than usual, and adjust accordingly.
