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.

The aggression for whatever reason HELPS ME think a lot clearer about what is going on in hands or just remembering certain situations that happened even if I am not even in the hand.
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?
