can one play tight AND aggresive?

[FrontonPoker]

pardon my stupidity, but please explain the difference..

[Paul2432]

Yes, you can play both tight and aggressive.

You do this by not playing many hands, but when you do play a hand, you bet and raise aggressively.

agressive does not equal loose

[bicyclekick]

not possible.

i interpret tight to mean never betting. i just post and fold. sometimes i win the small blind when it folds around to me in the big blind.

[KaiShin]

tight = does not play a lot of hands

loose = plays a lot of hands

aggressive = bets/raises often

passive = calls often.

Easy?

Tight-Loose refers to amount of hands a player of hands will play before the flop. A tight player will not play many hands preflop while a loose player will play many.

Agressive-Passive refers to the amount of betting raising a player will do as opposed to simply calling. An agressive player will bet/raise much more than he calls while a passive player will do this much less.

don't get it twisted though, agressive does not equal maniac

Which is odd, because maniac does equal aggessive.

I don't just judge tight vs. loose based on preflop behavior. Although Pokertracker does. Similarly, passive vs. aggressive is determined both before and after the flop, for me that is.

The one with like a 15 dollar average pot size? Yeah, I just popped in for a few minutes because I had 25 rraked hands to go on my Empire bonus. Played a few extra hands, but only actually saw a flop on maybe one, I think, on that table. Cleared my bonus and a quick 25 bucks on the .5/1.00 tables as well in about 30 minutes. Life is sweet.

Thought the 2+2 tables were usually private tables though.

And back when I used to play on them they were the tightest thing around, not the ultra-lag fest that thing was.

All maniacs are aggressive, but not all aggressive bettors are maniacs.

i think my problem is knowing WHEN to be aggressive, im pretty tight for starting hands, and even second best hand has me checking or simply calling bets.. i know this is costing me, and its finding the solution thats driving me nuts..
