Default Re: Some Analyses of Poker Data - What Accounts for Our Winnings?

An interesting point, however, this analysis is not just my own playing it is on data for 709 players who have each played over 50 hands. Thus, it should account for good runs and bad runs of cards. Additionally, of course someone is more aggressive when hitting cards. But somehow, over lots of hands some people are more aggressive than others? Why? Either because they are aggressive in nature or they are better at poker and know when they have the best of it more often than their opponents and are thus aggressive in situations where their opponent would not be. As a side note, this analysis is not intended to cite blind aggression as a way to win at poker. It is rather intelligent aggression. Missing opportunities to bet and raise with the best of it or when your opponent will readily lay down a better hand is -EV and in the long run -$.

Thanks for reading my post and for the comments.
