Aggression... Is It Vital?

[TheDelChop]

Sure its possible, but winning 10k in a year isn't nearly as much as you would have won if you had been raising and being more aggresive.

I was playing 5/10 SH last year. I had never read any poker book. I didn't even know what 2+2 WAS. Basically, my game plan was to limp any A, or any 2 paint cards, and bet/call any time I flopped TP, and fold if I didnt flop a pair or 4flush/open ended. I ONLY raised AJ+, 99 + & KQ, and I didnt care at all what position I was in. I only very rarely bluffed. I sometimes semibluffed. But I typically didnt even raise hands like TPGK in position, Id just call down. I did try to find relatively passive tables to play at.

I made almost 1,000 BB last year as this player.

You tell me, is it possible to win playing passively?
