Aggression = Clear Brain?


Recommended Posts

When I first started playing NLHE a couple years ago I was the typical tight player who never mixed it up or got creative. Ive molded my game into an aggressive style of play that for whatever reason seems to urk people or just make them think unclearly. Like this hand I raised probably 4 out of last 6 hands before hand(Most in pos) and won 3 of that 4.

Does anybody else feel that by being more active in a good % of hands that your are more focused into whats going on and just generally play better?

No, when youre more aggressive medium hands define themselves better and are easier to play, and when you hit a monster your prior aggression earns you calls. Aggression=winning poker
