Aggression = less bluffers?

Aggression = less bluffers?

Is this statement true?

In the past when I was a more passive puss. 6% PFR, 1.6-1.8 TAF I found quite a few aggressive players trying moves on me.

Now that I increase my aggression I rarely run into someone trying to pull something on me. 10.5% PFR TAF 2.3-2.5

Anyone else notice this?

If your opponents are observant, then yes they will try to bluff less on you because you're more likely to reraise than to call.

Of course it is. Muggers look for the softest targets.

This is very true.

They will try to get you to lay down your hand by putting more pressure on you to just call

And they rarely if ever attack other muggers.

Aggressive players - at least those who are fairly observant - will be less likely to try to semi-bluff you with their draws for fear that you'll make it three bets.

It's very rare for the loser of a fight to be the one who lands the last punch.

Thanks. I noticed from a year ago when I was a pussy with aggressiion 1.5-1.75 TAF and PRF of 5-6% that people would always try to run me over. I had some very hard decisions.

Now with TAF of 2.5 and PRF of 10% (2/4 3/6) I notice maybe I get bluffed at about once an hour (that I notice).

Ahhh aggression, makes live easier.
