I definitely see your point - "Who would you rather play against: A passive opponent who’s mainly checking and calling or an aggressive opponent who’s betting and raising a lot?"

I find it more relaxing to play against passive players, but I tend to lose more to them than aggressive players. The aggressive players are largely playing their cards up so I usually know where I stand with them.

I find the passive players are often the most difficult to read, quietly sitting there with a QQ over-pair or a flopped set, passively calling my made hand/semi-bluff bets. Till I start feeling more confident about my hand as an actual winner on the turn and/or river. Only to find that I've been successfully trapped/out-drawn. Especially in those situations where their QQ pocket pair becomes a full house and my OESD/Flush draw completes on the river.

There are so many nuances. This is not a simple game, by any stretch. I'm finding your course to be very helpful! The trick is to apply the right bit of knowledge in the right spot at the right time.
