I played at a casino with an older crowd of poker players that liked to play sheriff and trap a lot. This is really a form of aggressive play, IMHO, because they're acting in response to your aggressive play, essentially neutralizing it by trapping you. As was mentioned in the instruction. You don't always have to be aggressive. But it is +EV (or positive expected value) to be aggressive especially preflop and on the river. If you encounter resistance to your aggression then it is advisable to slow down sometimes. Maybe for pot control, or to let the trapper expose their hand strength. I learned pretty quickly, the best way to punish those guys who liked to try to trap was to turn the preflop aggression around on them. When they called my preflop raise or 3 bet I would often check the flop, get a value bet from them on the turn that would expose their hand strength and let me play it more straight forward. You don't have to always c bet the flop, again, especially if you're playing against a table sheriff.
