Maybe you will find this to be a stupid question ...
But I've been thinking it over and over since I've started playing poker.
Anytime I read a poker book or some online advice, the first thing the author emphasizes is:
BE AGGRESSIVE!
Now, my question ist - how can I practice being more aggressive? I've learned so much about strategy and reads and tells and short stacks and so on ...
But this "be aggressive!" item seems to be sth like a categorical motto, as it is never explained.
And please, don't tell me, that you either are aggressive or not, and that this can't be practised. I am an artist, I paint pictures, and I know that you can learn to be an artist, that you can learn to paint - by practise and study and with patience and perseverance. So why the hell shouldn't I be able to learn to be an aggressive poker player?
Any suggestions? Please help me with this!!!
