Default Any advice?

Lately I have been noticing that I am being entirely too aggressive at the table. With this over aggressiveness it is causing me to become too loose. I have tried to change my style to a lesser aggressive one but catch myself going back. I am wondering if anyone has gone through this and what helps to over come this. Now I used to be a winning player, but lately I have gone seriously down hill.

all part of becoming a better player. some advice is not to slow down on being aggressive but to focus on position. i find that when im being loose i try to raise only in position and it is effeative

monitor number of hands seen and study the risks that you are exposing yourself to (eg raises that are folded but might have been called etc)

Play slightly less poker and make sure that every time you play you are focused and hungry (for success not sustinence).this will take you a long way back to where you were.

Don't be aggressive just to be aggressive but like rw says be aggressive with a reason. Because you are in position, because you want to create an image or you are up against a tight player.

All I can say really is don't think of it as going back to where you were.. think of it as a way of stepping forward and a way of progressing.

You already know about where you were. You don't return to that you move on and hopefully find yourself better equipped.


One thing that I struggled badly with not long ago is adjusting my poker for the games I was playing. (who am I kidding- I still struggle)
When I began to learn a thing or two. I added those things to my game. Unfortunately when I hit a bad patch on stars and was forced to move down in levels, I continued to play the same kind of poker.
I thought I should easily beat the small sngs and micro cash games with what I had. It hasn't been easy at all but I'm feeling my way through and building up slowly again.
I don't know what type of tables you are playing at or what type of bankroll you have right now but I know it can be difficult adjusting to players who are likely to do anything at anytime.

A $5 mtt: a THF league game, a 2/5c NL table, a $3 turbo, a $10 sng, a $1-2 table sng, a $3 rebuy, a freeroll. We're all over the place - and each game and each table requires different approaches.
If I knew exactly what they were each time - I wouldn't lose any!

You think you're aggressive? It's an asset but we both know that we will find
overly aggressive players who will play back at you at those low levels and they won't even know why they are doing it.

If you do think you're too aggressive at the games youre playing then maybe you already have you're answer. Play solid and use your aggression when it matters most.

This games easy on paper isnt it

I like and agree with what Rw and Ben said. ( and I like the way Rw spells advice )

Best thing is to step away for a few days and

1. Look over your Poker Tracker stats (if you have it)
2. Look over your stats at the site
3. Do some reading...what books are your favorites

Depends on your game but if you are playing limit check out'

Internet Texas Holdem has a fantastic starting hand chart which will cool your aggressiveness fast. It is not always horrible to be aggressive with poor cards but if you do so "Out of position" now you have huge problems if you hit middle or bottom pair or even top pair with poor kicker.

I think reviewing your stats and doing some reading will put you back on track
