How to play against very aggressive players?

[dreamer13]

Every poker player needs to be able to play against aggressive players. When faced with such an opponent, proceed as follows:
if you have a weak hand, fold, otherwise you risk losing your bet;
medium hand - answer a raise with a raise, according to the reaction of the opponent, you will understand whether he is bluffing or has a strong hand. If the opponent calls, it is better to refuse further struggle;
strong hand - call your opponent's raise, so you mislead him and force him to raise.
When faced with a poker player who prefers to play aggressively, do not lose your cool. Think carefully about your every step and try not to make mistakes. Only then can you win.

i think trapping them is good . like ....let them bet into your set and reraise them on the turn

in general you want to play tight against such players . unless you have a good read on them and you see that they will strongly bet and raise / reraise without having much of a hand . in that case i personally often push all in with even a middle pair because i know i will most likely be ahead lol

it depends on the buy-in amount. If it's expensive, wait for a mistake from him.
But if you have a favorable budget, don't be afraid to confront him and respond to his provocations

Against very aggressive players I usually play very tight. Perhaps there is a better tactic.

I'd say playing more aggressively is a good way to counter their play specially when you think they are playing much more hands than average. Try shoving against them.

Exploitation of aggressive players is a very interesting topic. Especially in the early stages of the tournament. Many players become aggressive in order to increase their stack, because many tournaments provide rebuy and re-entry. This is a chance for exploitation. It remains only to find the right approach.
