Default Re: Does a decreased winrate have an exponential effect on variance?

If I have a gun and you have a knife, and you run towards me brandishing the knife in your hand, the fact that it is very easy for me to gun you down before you get close to me does not alter the fact that attacking someone with a knife is an act of aggression.

Despite the fact that nearly all competent poker players are aggressive, this does not make aggression identically equal to competence. It is very easy to be incompetently aggressive.

Betting and raising are aggressive. Checking, calling, and folding are passive.

An out-of-control angry player is more likely to be aggressive than passive. This is the nature of anger.
