Default Re: Winning the Party Super Monday (LONG, oh so long)

The key to being constantly aggressive is doing it in such a way as to put not much of your stack at risk. Say its level 1, and you are the big blind and have about 1000 in chips, and post the big blind of 15, and 4 people limp. You raise to 75; aggressive, and a fair sized raise, but percentage wise, you aren't really risking much of your stack. If you can consistently find spots where you are putting minimal parts of your stack at risk to chip up, you can build chips to the point where you can make some of the more difficult decisions easier because you have a bit of chip cushion to handle it, whether this means calling an all in bet with a marginal hand, or laying down a decent hand when you think you're beat. When they say chips are power, it doesn't just mean the power to bully people; it means the power to give yourself more options in how to play hands.
