when on a bad run, my advice is to play less poker.

Currently running bad. What do you do?
I think you should wait longer for the cards, because your image will be tarnished and they will pay whatever you have in your hand.

I think aggressive play pays off against good players. In my opinion aggressiveness vs fish is a losing strategy

Play your strategy. Don't get aggressive unnecessarily.

Btw I end up playing more passively when running bad.

Your poker strategy must be aggressive if you want to succeed at making money over the long term, but you must also be passive occasionally, perhaps to survive in a tournament while sitting on the small stack and waiting for the best odds by putting your chips in with a hand that you think will win ahead of preflop. Basically, this is your best chance given your circumstances. This is how the entire game is conducted. However, watch out for some of the top poker players out there. Before taking enormous risks in the expectation that everyone will fold to the big stack, have a strong hand.
