When you watch poker on television you often hear the commentators refer to someone as being aggressive. Well we all know what aggressive means in relative terms but what about at a poker table, what does aggressive mean?
Well basically who’s aggressive is someone who’s always the one being out there betting and really taking risks and the others who are conservative are the ones who are always waiting around looking for the good hands.
In the long run there are two approaches; conservative might let you stay in a tournament for a while but the only way to really get there is to be extremely aggressive. If you’re always on the offense you force everyone to react to what you’re doing and at the poker table that’s extremely valuable since more often than not nobody really has a great hand. If you’re always plugging away, pounding at the pots you’ll pick up ante after ante and watch your chips grow and grow all the way to the winners circle.
