Overaggressive?
I've been working on really stepping up my aggression with high blinds and taking advantage of every +EV opportunity that comes my way, but is this overdoing it? Both the blinds were reasonably tight players whom I'd assume would call with AT+, 55+.

Re: Overaggressive?
If you think that is their calling range this is probably fine.
I think the SB in particular won't be so picky. |

Re: Overaggressive?
I too have been working on my aggression. The other day I noticed someone kept stealing blinds and when everyone folded to him on the button he raised 3BB, small blind folds and I have 52o. I raise all-in with 2k chips and villian has 2500 chips. He folds. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I was afraid he had something though. |

Re: Overaggressive?
if i was the SB i would call with just about any two cards... but maybe i should push more often A10 and 55+

Re: Overaggressive?
SB was a large factor, but he was content with holding on for dear life while waiting for a hand. He didn't concern me as much as BB.

Re: Overaggressive?
This is quite close assuming they will both only call with AT+/55+, and SB will almost certainly call far more often than that. I fold here.
Edit: he may be holding on for dear life, but in my experience he will still almost certainly call with KT+, almost any ace, and any pair. But maybe I'm wrong. |

What will their range be next time around if you raise now?, and how about two rounds later when the blinds are actually worth stealing? Your opponents range is like an elastic band, you can stretch it only so far before it breaks. Lori |

Re: Overaggressive?
It is +$EV with:
SB calling with 22+, A2+, KQ, KJs BB calling with 22+, A9+, KQs so probably a good push. I usually wouldn't have done it, but I should probably start. If I had pushed a few times already though, it might loosen them up too much. |

Re: Overaggressive?
I wouldn't do it here's why. When you look to exploit every EV+ you possibly can score, you're likely to find them loosening their calling hands and you'll be way behind. Also, the more you push the sooner you'll run into a big hand. Still be aggressive, but not every time.
example: suppose I just pushed 88 6 handed utg+2 lvl 4. Now I pick up 77, I may fold here so I'm not appearing to overly aggressive, perhaps this isn't the best example but think of A9 or K10 o or whatever. Many times, I'll fold what I would have pushed even if its stronger than the last hand I pushed. |
