Hello.
Not always. Sometimes it's better to play slow. On the bubble of tournament when your stack is not big. At the final table when your folds can give you pay jumps. And in some others situations.

Indeed.

I flopped a FH yesterday and I bet very small but he still folded.

Maybe I went better with a check and hope for him to collect anything or try to bluff me.

In my opinion, an aggressive game is more profitable than a tight one, but everyone needs to know the measure.

Against overly tight opponents, aggressive players usually thrive by taking a lot of pots from them without a hand and without a fight. But it's important to be careful here, of course, when a tight player finally starts snapping at your raises, 3-bets, steals. In this case, it's best to back off and bury your hand. The fewer players at the table, the more you should widen your pre-flop open-raising and 3-betting ranges while finding more spots to be aggressive post-flop as well. Aggression in poker works you only benefit when you apply it in a sober mind and carefully choose the right situations for this.

There are times that playing aggressive doesnt work, but for the most part, i agree, playing aggressive keeps the middle hands out of the action .

I think the most important thing is that you play well, and the forum threads here on CC are a great help, and you can learn the basics further on the CC freerolls. 🙏:)

Why do you think so?
Do you have statistics that show that an aggressive game is more profitable?
In order to play aggressively, you need to have the appropriate level of skill and experience. Aggressive play by a beginner will only lead to financial losses.

It is important, it is true, but it is also important to handle different styles well and not always be aggressive. The moment of the tournament will show you how you should play at that moment. It is not the same to be aggressive in early, late or medium instances, it is understood. ? successes

Yes, it's almost never good to be passive.

But the most important thing is to be conscious in your actions, not just play haphazardly.

In a didactic way, the hand is like a story, and this story has to make sense.

From the experience I have so far, I see that these types of players can go far, but they become predictable and I just wait for the opportunity to eliminate them 😬

I think you should think against whom to play aggressively plus and against whom to play in the red you need to understand

I agree it is better to play aggressive. But it's better to play aggressive smart not just aggressive. I think preflop aggressive good, the goal being to take down the pot or to limit your field. But I often see nonsense aggressiveness, example. You have 5 limps into the pot and you min raise. You may look at this as being aggressive however 9 out of 10 times you don't take it down there and you open it back up for one of the players to 3 bet you out of the pot before you even see the flop. I think the min raise in a multi pot when acting late is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.

I agree, but you can also try playing differently against different players

Aggression is important in poker if it is thought out and justified.

generally speaking, aggressive has benefits. but really depends on the situation and opponent(s).
personally I prefer slow-playing monsters, but psst ;-)

Playing aggressively helps to get your hands out of weak hands, but if you get a player with good cards... may God have mercy on you

It all depends on what players you play against and their style of play.
