Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Aggression (too aggro)
Aggression (too aggro) There are worse things in poker than being too aggressive. As said early in this chapter, if you're unsure what to do, it's generally better to bet than to check. That being said, being too aggressive can become a serious problem, especially if you're playing opponents that know how to properly exploit it.
If it's part of your game plan to be hyper aggressive
If it's part of your game plan to be hyper aggressive in order to make your opponents react, and you feel you can properly anticipate and read their reactions, then you'll likely have an adequate poker strategy to work from. However, if you're commonly in situations where you aren't sure how to react to your opponents, and you're making lots of desperate bluffing attempts that are being picked up, then you're going to want to work on bringing down your aggression.
