STRATEGY # 4
Basic
____________________________________
The truly Professional Poker Player could be described as passive/aggressive. Passive when not playing and aggressively betting each played hand.
Aggression, as related to betting, is the primary tool of the Pro. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine any professional player not betting a hand for all it's worth and a few times, more than it's worth.
Most nonprofessional players feel that aggressive betting is too costly, unless they are certain they have the winning hand. The Pro will aggressively bet any advantage, with no assurance of actual having the winning hand on that round, but confident of winning in the long run,
We are not speaking here of players who are physically aggressive, loud, drunk or otherwise out of control. The Professional's aggression is only demonstrated by the size and number of bets and raises.
Often the easiest way to identify a weak player is their reluctance to bet or raise, choosing instead to habitually call in the belief that winning poker consists of saving as many bets as possible, while waiting for a perfect hand. We can think of no more certain way of losing, slowly, but losing nevertheless.
If your hand is not good enough to raise with, maybe it isn't good enough to play with? ....Something to think about.
