Hello,

I remember you once gave an advice all about being tricky, deceptive, aggressive, and tough. In particular, I don’t understand everything about being aggressive. What is playing aggressive? And I want to become a tight aggressive one, what should I do then?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Mirt,

Being aggressive means controlling the action in betting and putting players to the test for their chips. As far as being tight aggressive, that means waiting for solid starting hands and then betting your hands strong. Also this means betting your hands strong on the other streets as well, especially when you hit. Sometimes being aggressive means pushing out weaker players that have weaker holdings with bluffs etc.

Hi,

For a table with more or less 6 players, what’s the best strategy for beating counter-punchers? I usually play a game by which there are two excellent players. Well, both prefer to let others do their betting and then come over the top later.

I believe I’m an aggressive player however most of the time into trouble. Maybe it’s because I have accidentally fallen in love with the “aggressive” part of tight-aggressive. Any advice?

By the way, how can I move things to my advantage when someone with an aggressive rep is at the table? Any thoughts?

Many thanks,
Lenard
Lenard,

Play small pot poker and try and see a lot of flops with various hands. When you connect on the flop and the player plays back at you, then you can punish them. Also, push your big hands as normal. Use their aggression against them. This may require you to not be as aggressive, but it will make you more sneaky.
