I agree w/ derek aggression is certainly not over-rated. Small pocket pairs are worth calling 1 bet to see a flop because if you flop a set you've got a firm grip on the hand. I can understand smooth calling a flop bet with intention of charging on the turn. However, not raising the turn and charging the draws is almost a sin, you have to be far ahead of utg limping with Ax. Sets need to be protected against draw heavy boards with aggresive play. I think if you showed more aggression you would have had a better idea of were you stood and the river would play easier. you need to charge utg to draw with Ax to make up for the times he sucks out on you. Moral of the story: aggression is NOT over-rated. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
