Aggression has become a core tenant in modern day poker. Without aggression you’ll just sit there and watch your chips slowly dwindle away in today’s game. However, there is one key tip a lot of players don’t realize. You can’t just always be aggressive, you have to choose to be aggressive when your opponent does not want you to be aggressive. If you are constantly being aggressive, everyone at the table will quickly realize that you’ll do all their betting for them and will be very happy to just sit back and trap you all day long. Being easily trapped can be a sign that you are being overly aggressive and that everyone you play with is able to pick up on it. Not only should you be aggressive with good hands, but you should also throw in some slow plays as well. Mix things up to keep your opponents off-guard. Remember, there is a fine line between being aggressive and throwing dead money into the pot.
