With Aggressive Players

Author: Texas Holdem
Category: Texas Holdem FAQ

Hello,

I’m not implying anything here but I usually win because of my discipline and right strategy. But of course I’m not perfect and so have also experienced being a loser. One of my most unforgettable losing moments was in a limit game 60/120 or 75/150. I remember I was in a table full of very aggressive players. At the start, I was just okay but later on I got tired and upset because others were winning pots on almost nothing and everyone seemed to have far better hands. I tried to play aggressively with good cards but later just end up being beaten. At some point, I thought of not raising preflop with high cards and instead just wait. What do you think? How about the idea of playing conservatively, does it makes sense?

Thanks a lot!

All the best,
Jonathan
Jonathan,

In aggressive games, playing tight is right. Don’t change your strategy based on some bad beats. They happen to players that play solid. Eventually luck evens out. Stick to your normal strategy.
