coralpocker.com – As I have often pointed out before, I believe that aggressive play in poker, is a profitable way to play. This is of course dependant on showing restraint when situations call for it. But probing for weaknesses with bets, and putting pressure on players when you perceive them to be weak, can help your chipstack growth considerably.

Despite all this, there are other factors to take into account with aggressive play. Persistent aggressive play is likely to get you into trouble eventually, as although stealing blinds and picking up pots can be done successfully quite often, sooner or later you will walk into a hand.

If an opposing player has been observing your play and finds they then catch a flop very well when you are in the pot, they may well check, and allow you to build the pot for them. This is bound to happen eventually with such play, but when you think about it, a player does not necessarily need to hit a flop well to strike back. With an accurate read and enough courage, a player can wait for their moment, then reraise an aggressive player, even if they have no hand to speak of themselves.

So the bottom line is that you should be aggressive when you feel the timing is right to be, and you can bring in quite a few extra chips in this way. You must however, be wary about pushing players around too much.
