I just thought of another. The “Spank The Monkey” monkey.
This is the one ya spank clean out of the game cuz he was stupit enough to go all in with squat against your huge PP. He chipped ya up mightely and everyone is grateful someone could eventually call his “My ALL IN Button Is Stuck” style of play.

Good one Goph!
Maybe we could call him/her the Short Term Monkey.
They tend not to last too long and once identified by the non-Monkeys at the table end up like the weak Gazell on the African plain.
All the lions go after the weakest.

LOL… and excellent description of the monkey types and a good pointer to those who struggle to identify them.

There is one other that I can think of…. the ‘All hands’ monkey. This is one who will play every single hand, no matter what it is, even calling raises pre-flop. But they can be dangerous at times. If they play every hand dealt to them they will eventually HAVE to run into a decent holding. 9 times out of 10 though they will have jack-squat and will be easy pickings. They can be pretty special too in the sense that even though they have hit nothing on the flop they like to put out continuation bets – normally a single bet to try and make you think that they have something. A re-raise here is normally enough to have them running.
