An Interpretation Please...Old School vs New School Poker

[Poker60181]

i've always interperted the difference between old school and new school poker as aggressiveness. i think that new school means to play a little more loosely and more creatively, putting lots of pressure on your opponents with raises and re raises, violently switching gears and keeping your opponents clueless. old school play is tighter and a little more conservative and even keel. this is what i think, at least.

I think you are very much on the right track.

Add in a bit of heavy pre-flop play, especially tending toward what are probably too many pushes vs an old school philosophy of better play post flop and I think you may have a recipe that will make cookies. You might have to throw a little game theory in the new variety to make spicy cookies.
