Hello CCers,

Aggression is very important. I am fast learning that there are two important factors which should go along with it;

1. Information on your opponent.

I have been aggressive at the ring table without taking enough time to learn my opponents. It is now a fact that you cannot push calling stations off a hand especially draws, so do not even try unless you have top pair and a hut flush draw to go with it. This was a very painful lesson for me and I have shared it for free :)

2. The other important piece is the timing of the aggression and the story it tells.

I have been able to catch some major bluffs because the checking right through and then an "aggressive" bet on the river just does not add up. So the story that the aggression tells must add up - limpers trying to represent Aces, and broadway straights just hard to buy a lot of the time.

Of course there are those really sneaky players who do use there above mentioned situations and they show up with the goods but they are few and far in between.

For the most part I try to balance my aggression and learn as much as I can from the beatings received. Simply dust yourself off and get back in there and try better. Aggression is a nice tool to keep in ones poker arsenal - use it well.
