Aggression is a Key Factor


The aggressive player is the one who bets and raises often. He has the initiative most of the time and determines the flow of the table, controling it.
If people suspect they’re up against a strong hand, they tend to play a more straightforward game. If they think they’re up against a strong hand, they obviously don’t want to bluff and they don’t want to play weak hands. In the end, they fold all of their weak hands and only continue if they have a strong hand. That’s oversimplifying it a bit, but the basic idea is sound - aggression makes it harder to play tricky against you.
So, by playing an aggressive game you give yourself some major advantages over the competition. Not only are you obtaining more money in with strong hands but you’re also charging people to draw and making them more likely to pay off your strong hands. On top of all those advantages, you’re making your opponents play a more predictable game against you.
