Default Re: The Importance of Aggression

You're right that aggression is important. Especialy when the pot is HUGE like this one was.

Your advice however is extremely general and very dangerous as overaggression is a potential bankroll murderer. It can show up on every hand and can be the biggest possible leak in HE. One of the fastest ways to blow your wad is by spewing money trying to win every hand you enter

In the hand that you posted you showed what happens 10% of the time. In other words you lose this pot 90% of the time even playing it the way you did. In the times you do win I suspect that 90% of those times they're folding to your river bet because they had busted draws and nothing else. The real question is how often do you get a pair to fold? That being said given the size of the pot I don't really mind you playing that way on that hand but I think you probably had the best hand anyways.

For this advice to be helpful you really need to clarify it. How many times do you get a better hand to fold? How big does the pot need to be in order to try this type of play? What does the board look like. What do the other player types need to be? Mindlessly betting overcards into a field of 4 all he way to the river is not recommended. It is spewing in many situations.

This seems like an exaggerated example of an important concept. While there may be better examples, I think you are making a pretty valid point about crushing micro games aggressively.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about the effectiveness of hyper aggression at the low limits. I, personally, am one who believes that players who don't use hyper aggression at the microlimits are causing their winrates to unecessarily suffer.
