Playing mostly 10nl at the moment with an agf of 1.69

I cbet 70% of flop and usually betting top pair or better..

when calling out of position I sometimes check raise with draws depending on how much people are in the pot.

when Im in position with a flush/straight draw im usually calling rather then raising in position

when Im in the BB in an unraised pot with 3 or more and have TPWK / draws I never bet out

never betting in position with nothing

Thats just pretty much of what I can think of so far on how I play..

To all you winning players how should I change up my play and what else should I be doing?

Well, there are lots of times/reasons to bet in position with nothing.
Mebbe increase your coffee intake as well...

When I want to be aggressive at a table, If I have big pocket pair, I raise very big pre flop twice the pot sometimes and show my winning hand , so that when I want to take down a pot with cards in the paint like AK or so on people usually fold you can win a lot of pots that way good luck, Tina

sorry my first post answer was for preflop.. Post flop I would do the same bet the pot if you have 2 pair or better and show. then when you have top pair you will run all the chasers away.

Both of these are wrong.

I'm no cash game expert, but I can tell you are losing a TON of value on your big hands by playing them like this

just bet duh! p.s. dont be afraid to hit that all in button. and look up killer poker articles by John Vorhaus. He is all about increasing your aggression. You can also play as the "Anti Fish" which is raising alot, never calling, but also folding when you are beat.

I said" I usualy " play in this manner I play different styles against different players. It also depends on the flop and if I think they are chasing. you would have to be there... smiling . I tell you what I would rather lose value then the whole pot a win is a win .. too many chasers out here that will out draw you to the river. I say take down the pot.. I 'M talking high stakes with antes. No one can really tell the next player what works best for them . You can give and get advise, but you have to find what works for you.... and by the way I'm a good player.. made about 20 final tables tourneys with 5000 people. I have only been playing in tourneys for a year good luck at the tables hope to play you one day...smiling

af is the ratio of (bets & raises) / calls. So to raise your ration you can
1. bet and raise more
or
2. don't call with so many marginal

Either path will raise your aggression factor but the second is the least painful IMO.
