Both aggression in position

 

[nafanyalg]

I still think that position, but the aggression is just as important. Alas, but without aggression , position nothing.

 

[marakhovskii]

there is no money out of position

 

[apeedgovi]

Position, position, position! Is there anything more important in poker than position? Aggression is good, bus D is great!

 

[Gabinho12345]

Position is most important in poker

 

[XXPXXP]

Aggression is more important
If you know GTO strategy. position generally means nothing.

Aggression makes two way's to win, win showdown or win by a fold
position...generally does not that function.

In an extreme case, If I am a new player , but I have 1000K hands history of all opponents on the table, I am able to win money , even play all hands from out of position. I am able to use maths madness to eliminate the what is called position advantages.

Important and aggression and attitude. I prefer the position.

aggression out of position to me is almost as dumb and unreasonable as not
setting up a river bet and betting big with no history to the pot on the river.

I use position in all my play. If get monsters mix them up how to play out of position but my whole game is based on position lol

i fold a ton of good hands that most would play cause i dont have position

 

[Syltan]

Position will always be more important than aggression, and aggression in position you never win))

Well , the right answer is position with aggression . The second best answer is position and the third is aggression .I will go with the third FOR NOW only because I lack of it on critical spots , when I need it most ,that's sth I'm working to make better . I've seen me and others on position not having the appropriate aggression to defend it from c bets ,donkey bets, whatsever , so I know thatis sth very important to play poker .

This

Moder games uber agro, double barreling with A high is not uncommon, as calling with K high for that matter.
So yes, it is true that you can make your ops fold with pure agression, but it's more importaint to have options than to rush your op out of the pot... at least as i see it.

i think they go hand in hand with position slightly edging out agression

 

[bstest]

Position for me. Your chance of being pushed out off your bet is smaller, therefore you get what you pay for. With aggression you're working off the fact that it is very rare for an opponent to be dealt very good cards, and without them aggression will push them off. Down street, however, aggression becomes the same as whether you have the best hand or you are semi-bluffing. You either bring them along for the win or chase them away when they had the winning hand.

 

[tagece]

I think when you know how and when to be aggressive, position helps a lot, but is not necessarily the main factor.
I often see the great players opening from early position, sometimes with air. But they always know what they are doing, and have a strategy for the hand already done before the flop, and play a hand only based on the villain range.
This is the best of art in poker.

 

[tauri103]

I would say it depends on the table and the level of your opponents. But it is true that it is easier to play posistions. To play aggressive, you need to flop your game to hope to win.

 

[Ian the Fish]

1) Skill
2) Position
3) Cards

And in that order.

 

[TeUnit]

think its adapting to the villans

 

[mar_dragan]

Agression more then position in my opinion.

 

[poliaris747]

Some say aggression, others say the position, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle! Poker as the fornication which prepares the chef, all should be in moderation! Much depends on the opponents are with which you play. If the fish can not afford much in any position and play super agresivno. But if you're at a table with profesionalomi, you can not help aggression.

 

[XXPXXP]

It is very easy to solve this by a maths mode

HU nolimit holdem.

preflop the person at SB - decide only to raise or fold - meaning have aggression but out of position

the person at BB - decide only to check or call or fold - meaning have position but without aggression.

so...The results is for sure at least the person at SB will not lose in a long run
but the person at BB will lose chips in the long run or break even if called balance.
if you guys have a SNG wizards or something, easy to get.
SB will have very balanced pushing range by easy raise 2 BB then check every street , since BB could only call not 3bet no raise later street.

so generally to say, Aggression is way way ahead than position.

 

[Running Nose II]

Both go hand in hand, you need both.

 

[TheMagic]

I believe both are important in their contexts. You can use Position to get some advantage over weak opponents, as also aggression. But it´s important to say that Aggression can easily be punished by good regular players.

 

[paulinhlt]

Aggression is more important, but position have on advantage
