There are four main poker playing styles

1. Loose-Passive

2. Loose-Aggressive

3. Tight-Passive

4. Tight-Aggressive

Of all these styles you want to play Tight - Aggressive - Why?

Because when you play Tight - Aggressive (T-A) you choose your starting hand wisely. You either fold or raise before the flop. This means that when you raise you always have a good starting hand because if you didn't you would have folded.

Almost all professional players recommend you to play T-A and many of them play it themselves.

So what is the downside of playing T-A?

It's quite easy to read so your opponents will quite quickly learn that when you are plying your hand you have a strong hand.

The advice here is to "show a bluff" when you first sit down so they think you might be of another poker style and that way you can continue to play T-A and come out as a winner.

Do not forget to shift style from time to time to fool your opponents.

Good Luck!
