Aggressive amateurs

Yeah, just tighten up a bit and let them bluff into your strong hands — stacks build themselves.

Aggression in poker as the main source of profit.Without discussing the specific conditions of the situation, players simply talk about the benefits of aggressive play, and that its insufficient amount reduces our chances of success. Much less often such advice is accompanied by information on how and when to use this aggression. Usually, all comments come down to the fact that aggressive players are simply more successful than passive ones.

The truth is, aggression works when applied correctly knowing when to apply pressure, understanding ranges, position, stack sizes, opponent tendencies, etc., is what separates winning aggressive players from reckless ones. Blind aggression can burn your stack just as quickly as passivity can bleed it away. What’s needed is a better focus on controlled aggression

To me the players that play in every hand, always making big bets,;suck the fun out of the game. They build large stacks but are rarely seen at the final table.

Yes, they are weaker players who will boost you with more chips to go further in the tournament, know how to exploit them in the best way.

One must sometimes feed the fish as well and occasionally I do find it difficult how to find the spot when to strike back. And try to forget about the fancy things I have learnt about poker because they don't much care about the positions and such with normally affects the way people play and what range of hands they are expected to have. Beginners typically call too often because they don't yet understand the relative strength of hands or the importance of betting and that is how I spot them. Freeroll is sometimes interesting experience with all the beginners fooling around and in Omaha freeroll I find my self loosing a lot to aggressive beginners for some reason.
