Aggressive Poker | Aggression in Poker

Select Language

Aggression is a key part to our strategy. Playing aggressively means that we bet and raise to put pressure on our opponents.

By putting pressure on our opponents, it forces them to make a decision, and pressurises them to make bad decisions. It’s our opponent’s bad decisions that makes us our profit. All the time we are trying to take advantage of our opponents bad decisions whilst minimising our bad decisions.

Reasons for being aggressive

Limits the number of players - It forces weaker hands out of the pot, which in turn makes your stronger hand even more powerful. Weaker hands can quite often become a lot stronger hands if given the chance to hit cards on the flop.
Increases the size of the pot – By raising we are increasing the size of the pot when we have a strong hand.
Two ways to win the Pot – By being aggressive we have given ourselves two ways to win the pot, not only can we win by having the strongest hand, but we can also win by forcing our opponents to fold, even if they have a stronger hand
