Different styles, same result

One of the remarkable things about poker is the sheer variety of ways one can successfully play. There are certainly many wrong ways to play, but there are just as many right ways. Players eventually play in the style they're most comfortable with. Last night, I had a real gambler a couple of seats to my right. He played a lot of hands, and his stack porpoised accordingly. His pet play was to raise any bet on the turn; he got a surprising number of folds that way. I play a much tighter style, entering far fewer pots. Though our styles radically differed, we finished in close proximity; he bubbled the bubble, and I bubbled. I outlasted him, but it was cold comfort, since I also missed the money.
