Everything will always depend on the game situation in which you find yourself and the type of players you have at your table, you can play aggressive if the table in which you are playing most of the players are passive and conservative you can take advantage of that style of play, but if you are at a table surrounded by aggressive players you must play with position and wait for them to attack and try not to complicate the hand further if you do not have the (Nuts) the best play yet.

The slow and quiet game also depends on the tournament format you are playing if it is a good tournament with levels a bit slow that style of quiet playing adapts to that format, but if it is turbo I would recommend expanding your range of hands more and playing a little loose and aggressive but still in position.

I dont think there is one correct strategy, It depends on the table, and cards dealt. There are time I am playing a strategy that's overly aggressive and loose. Why, the table is tight and I am getting dealt really good hands. Other days I am a nit, why the table is reckless and i keep getting dealt junk. Long term I think a mixed strategy is best.

My game depends on my mood and desire! Sometimes I follow everything, count everything and draw conclusions. I play very carefully and take no risks. And another time I don't care, and I don't follow the game, I press without looking, and often go to VK-bank. I never have a definite strategy, everything is on the occasion! I take risks a lot!

Depends on which players are playing at the table. If the players are tight, then you need to play aggressively. And if the players play aggressively, then on the contrary, you need to play more calmly.

Well that depends on each player and the levels with which you are playing and especially your bank, I consider that if it is a guaranteed tournament, it is a calm and moderate game, and a spingo go has to be an aggressive and risky strategy.:D

How to deal with aggressive players?

The important thing is that you master all poker strategies and know how to apply them to the table, as well as how to deal with your opponents and hands.
Good luck to you

Aggressive poker is winning poker. If you best or raise you got two ways to win, either show down the best hand or villain folds(hopefully a better hand).

There is a 30 day video series on becoming a winning player here at cardschat. Day two is 'Aggression The Key Ingredient to Winning Poker'.

Aggression being being more apt to raise or fold than to call. Watch the video it explains it all.

Yes, I totally agree, aggressive style is more winning. I would like the course to be available in several languages, I would gladly take

a difficult question, for me it depends on the format of the tournament and its structure if I have a huge stack I will often limit and play aggressively, if I have 10-20 big blinds I will just wait for the best card and hope for luck when pushing

it all depends on your stack, stage of the tournament and position - there are no definite decisions here, in a cash game, of course, aggression and pressure will bring more profit over the course

I think you need to play a bit of both or you become predictable and if you play with the same pool of players they get to know your style. I try to change things up depending on my mood that day. Sometimes I'm anxious and so I will play a less risky, calm and moderate game. However, if I am feeling a little more confident or brazen then I will be a little more aggressive and take more risks.

Yes

Not at a long distance, at a short distance it is possible.

How to deal with aggressive players?
Aggressive opponents should be avoided and only premium hands should be played against them.

I believe that a calm and confident game is better, I used to lose a lot of hands when I was recklessly playing with the whole bank, in poker you need to play with a cool head and think sanely.

Definitely calm and tight at micros. So many ego maniacs out there. Just wait for a hand and get them some rope to hang themselves. I mean it's like checking is pulls more chips into a pot than betting.

I play must times tight aggressive style, but in the same tournament a calm moderate approach is mandatory when you encounter the need to do so. :deal:

Both strategies must be used. Mostly I prefer calm. In prizes and when a small stack I start to use aggressive.

In tournament unlimited poker, the most aggressive players win. Despite this, many people ask why aggression is so beneficial in this format? Let's discuss this issue.
Many people prefer tournaments, because they have to pay for admission only once. After paying the buy-in, the participants don't have to worry about the money, they have already gone all-in. For this reason, many people prefer a loose or generally insane game.

For some participants, poker tournaments mean a conservative game. Having flown out once, a poker player will not be able to return to the table, except for rebuy tournaments. Players prefer to play tight in order not to fly out, and we will call this factor the relegation factor.

The theory of aggression is applied in unlimited games, with its help it becomes possible to control a table full of players who are afraid of the FI. Aggressive participants have no fear of departure, they play wildly and loosely, and tight action players are afraid, so they will often fold their hands, preferring their own safety to the draw. It turns out that the most aggressive poker players will sit with the largest number of chips because of the unwillingness of their rivals to defend themselves or because of fear.
