At first I thought it was just me. But then I started talking to other players on pokerstars chat. Brazilians and Russians are extremely aggressive players when they playing your hands. The most people hate this.


How do you play with that "extremely aggressive" players?

Trapping is the best against aggressive players.

I am Brazilian, I have already commented in another similar topic, I believe that due to the amount of players in brazil and Russia being very big the impression that passes is the one you said, but it is not the rule, analyze each player as unique, I have already understood players so of all nationalities. Currently the aggressive style of play predominates because many have made a profit like this, or think they can, if you select better your range of hands will be able to win more times and can exploit these players. Use the position and stack to your advantage, and do not get involved in difficult hands.

when i play against a agressive player, i try to wait until i have a great hand. then ill let them bet it down all the way. i wont raise or anything. because 9 times out of 10 they will make the pot for me.

The problem is that it's hard to have a great hand, and he might just have a bigger one in the same hand so even if he makes to pot for you 9 out of 10 times you might win 5. And with everything you lose by folding it you are actually losing

Here everything depends on the situation and on the characteristics of the opponent. Against aggressive players it is desirable to play from a position; with a strong combination you can slowplay.

1) I don't believe agression is related to nationality
2) With high aggression the variance goes up, for me, also ROI goes down (but that might be because of me)
3) Be patient and trap, typically: 99+ AQ+. Depending position, I've had good results with limping with monsters, villain goes all-in (thinking my hand is not that good) and there is my 70-30 or even 80-20 chance of winning

Hey. Very interesting question. I'm from Russia, but most often it's not an aggressive game, but just stupid actions. I'll also add German players. When playing heads-up they doing insane actions. After reading the book "Applications of No-Limit Hold'em " by Matthew Janda I realized that it is important to balance the check range OOP. If you only bet with bluffs and nuts, that doesn't make sense. All your bluffs will be raised, and all your good hands won't be paid. Often you'll make a check (OOP!). They will often make huge bets. OOP, you must constantly check with your strong hands. IP play as usually. The value of suited connectors drops sharply. Often you have to play on a whole stack with top pair or worse.:fight:

With aggressive players, i always try to be patient, wait fore the good hand.

I was jut trying the new game on PS, Split with 2 flops etc.

One player is very aggressive and steals my blinds and my stack goes down.

Fore a long period of time, he gains and gains, and then i have 2 good hands in a row and goes all in and steals his 2 $ :)

When I play with aggressive players, I'm waiting for a very good hand and I'm waiting for players to get trapped, but you can catch aggressive players at certain moments and on small cards, but you have to be very careful!

Patience is the key ... just wait for a good hand and catch it ... once you've caught it you earn your respect!

Everything is very simple! You also need to be aggressive and catch such opponents on their mistakes) If their aggression is superfluous then play tight-aggressive!

How do you play with that "extremely aggressive" players?

That depends. Are we discussing aggrotards or decent LAGs here? The first thing is to realize that this kind of play increases variance. If you're not comfortable with that, then it's best to seek a new game.

If this is a garden variety aggrotard, simply find a playable hand. Even a second or third button could be good against some bluff-monkey. You just let him bet it for you and hope you're good, and he doesn't bink before the river. I have a reg where I play whose strategy is to buy for a half stack, and raise AI. He's hoping to double up and then play it tight. It doesn't work when I'm in there. I've called this guy pretty light and stacked him more than a few times. He never learns.

If it's a good LAG (and those are few and far between at u-stakes on-line) you need to get a line on his range and play a somewhat tighter range, which means light 3 and 4 betting. The problem with nitting it up against a good LAG is that he will rob, rob, rob most of the time, but when you finally find a hand, he'll know where you're at and he'll suddenly discover what the "Fold" button does.

You definitely want to be in position against either aggrotards or good LAGs. You also need to understand that you could lose a whole stack. Even the bluff-monkey or LAG can pick up a pair of aces.

Understand if they're playing more aggressive in certain positions. Trap and play tight until you have a good sample of when and where they're raising, limping, cold calling, reraising or folding. Then play a wider range of hands and see more flops. They'll see checks as a weakness and will aggressively bet into you. So always try to induce them to bluff. Don't fold hands that have strength unless the board plays out as poorly as possible. Mid pairs could be essentially the nuts against these players. Beware once you crack them with mid pair a few times they'll either go on tilt and throw you all their money or tighten up and try to play more premium holdings

I'm Brazilian and I think it's not only Brazilian and Russian players that play aggressively, I usually see that they are players who do not have patience and play desperately thinking that they will take away that player that takes time to play, that's all they can fix.

I do not think it's about nationality, I think it's fun to meet aggressive players who win in the long run against them. Dare to challenge them, do not get stressed

I fully understand and support, I did this, aggressive play should also be able, each with its own style of play
