Felicia,

I've done some thinking on this issue as well and have come to the conclusion that my aggressiveness or lack of aggressiveness comes from the table that I am currently playing.

When I'm online playing 2/4 1/2 kill at UB, I tend to go into the trapping mode that you spoke of. These players think they are pretty good. They will do the raising for me and then I can pounce. (I see 24% of flops...when I get above 28%, I get in trouble.)

When I'm playing live, I can get away with seeing many more hands and play them much faster since the opponents are weaker. (It is not unheard of for me to see 100% of the flops in a four hour period.)

My live games are MUCH more profitable than the online games.

I have found that I do not have the temperament to play PLO8 (and I'm ok with that). I hate loosing a whole stack with the second nut flush.

Good luck (with the poker and the chemo)

Dave
