On Aggressiveness

Author: Texas Holdem
Category: Texas Holdem FAQ

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.
