Is poker a game of aggression or strategy

myquickwit · Apr 27, 2021

I would say it is much more a game of strategy than it is a game of aggression. The worst player of all time can be aggressive. It takes a bit more than that to be a winning poker player.

Welcome to the forums! I would consider aggression a form of strategy, and part of a tool kit you need to be successful in poker.

aggression

I find that sites seem to reward aggression.

Good afternoon. Poker is a game of strategy but you need both to succeed as a poker player.

it can be both but the thing about poker is balance... BALANCE!!!! learn how to manipulate that concept. i mean i could write a book on that but im a player not a writer. Watch hellmuth vs dan and dan vs the man DOUG then watch how Chan, DOYLE AND hellmuth and also the real player Stu unger

As others have said before me, aggression is a tool in your strategy kit. It should be used and used more often then not used. If you are a tight or loose player I would suggest that most of the time you want to be aggressive in your play. Poker seems to reward aggressive play. If everyone just waited to bet until they made a hand an aggressive player would take advantage of all the times players missed the flop and I would like to think that they would have a big advantage over the other players.

Poker is a game that requires a combination of a lot of things and these two are included. You have to have an abundance of different approaches to play poker because it's an abundance of nuances to the game. Shuffle up and deal!

Poker is the balance of the two.
There are times when you have to be aggressive and there are times when you have to be strategic.
The 2 always go together, I think that without them you can't get very far in tournaments

ijsmile369 · Apr 27, 2021

I think both, because you cannot constantly have the best hand every time, so sometimes you have to be aggressive (or bluff). As for the strategy I think any poker strategy must consist of following items: observation, math, memory, psychology. So as first and the main thing - you should train this 4 skills.

I think the 2, the more I think the more is luck!

Poker is a game of aggression & strategy ,
im confused on this question,,,its also a game that calls for some passiveness at times as well
but always always STRATEGY

Goku55 · Apr 27, 2021

It’s whatever type of game you play

You can play an aggressive game but it’s not going to be profitable trying to win every pot. My dad always use to tell me you’re not gonna break the table. But if you run good enough and you have enough money in an uncapped game you never know.

Deeznutzzzz · Apr 27, 2021

Poker is strategy with aggressive play one part of a possible strategy.

Hemified · Apr 27, 2021

Its both. Its a very aggressive game with strategy and a lil luck. I think the most important is to know all there is with the odds of winning,% ofcatching cards,ins ands outs and being able to do it FAST in yr head. Once you can start figuring out what other players cards are, then you got it figured out. Now you can start being aggressive and crazy because you know exactly whats going on and if you can or can't be beat. I usually pick on 1 player and try to take their money being intimidating no matter what. Good luck and practice makes perfect.

deyvsonflp · Apr 27, 2021

Poker is a strategy game, where aggressiveness is just one of many ways to apply this strategy, just as passivity is also important in other poker scenarios.

maroca06 · Apr 27, 2021

Poker is a game of strategy and luck, there are moments when you play more aggressively and others more relaxed.

jleon_zat · Apr 27, 2021

It is strategy. And much study of the opponents look for their weak point and attack

oakthyago · Apr 27, 2021

sometimes the strategy is not to be agressive, so i will say strategy

Minelli · Apr 27, 2021

Moment !

It depends on the time of the game!

Claudiunm · Apr 28, 2021

For me, Poker is a game of strategy and aggression is part of strategy.
Whoever plays aggressive without strategy is called a maniac and usually does not burst the bubble.

kanycta99 · Apr 28, 2021

You can play aggressively against tight players. Playing against the same aggressor must be taut. and this is already a strategy.

srurrr · Apr 28, 2021

I think poker is gambling game but Some percentage is strategic and aggressive factors.

Nathan Williams · Apr 28, 2021

Both really. You can't win big without knowing the right strategy and also playing aggressively. The key is aggression in the right spots.
