What's the difference between playing hyper-aggressive and super-aggressive? What's the difference between playing hyper-aggressive and super-aggressive?

I can hardly find any info on either of them, especially super-aggressive. Can you also post some example hands of playing each style, and/or name some players who play each style?

What do you think is the difference between two similarly meaningless adjectives?

They're not meaningless adjectives, but playing styles of poker. You are not helping if you have never heard of either.

There is no established definition for either term in poker. In general, hyper would be more aggro than super. If you're seeing one writer using both terms, ask them.

there's no such thing as "playstyles" in poker, it's a concept from 15 years ago that has since become very outdated. On a base level, there are only optimal and suboptimal plays.

That being said, there is some room for manouvering, namely, there are cases where different plays have expected values that are extremely close to each other. If you consistently choose moves that skew one or another direction in such cases, we could call it a playstyle.

However, what adjectives you choose here is meaningless, wether it's super-agressive, hyper-aggressive or mega-aggresive, these are just words witout any definitions

I didn't choose the adjectives myself. If you haven't heard of the terms before that's not my fault here.

Then you got caught up with the word "styles" for a pointless reason.

FYI Scotty Nguyen is said to have been playing both ways.
