Hi manic,

First of all, is it possible for a game to be good because it's too aggressive? I'm very skeptical. Too loose coupled with aggression, ok. That's a brutal game but it's beatable. Correctly tight but overly aggressive? Ouch. Not for me, thank you.

But let's say your read is right. How do you beat such a game? Well, you've got to give your opponents opportunities to bluff, to punish their overly aggressive tendencies. Now, in this one hand, you have raised a draw and pulled the old stop-and-go, techniques which are at their best against passive players, and at their worst against playres that are going to reraise you in spots where other players might slow down. Making a value bet in a spot where you don't want to raise but your opponent may bluff is particularly troubling.

Anyways, it all suggests that you may not have as good a handle on this game as you'd like.


good luck.
Eric
