When you're raising protecting your holecards and isolating players to headsup situations, you're either making them fold PFlop or by cbetting and taking it uncontested opposed to passive play, which means more than 10x the average win per hand, and some extra pots thanks to your top kickers and good cards

* As you know, your table image must be in shape, and positional aware. Then by selecting your opponents you can switch gears in accordance to your table readings. Tighten up and trapping aggro-loose players, and putting pressure and floating the tag ones.

* The higher the flops seen, the higher the variance you're facing. Those who can't BR handle it, usually opt for ShortStackStrategies (SSS), where premium and made hands do their job on the long run, while switching tables and grinding lower limits. What I'm saying is both are valid, it's a profitable TAG game, just like a LAG game can be, either you adapt to get an bigger edge (meaning profit) or you stick to your already (less) profitable A game. You have a whole life to learn poker eheh

* So I guess it's you who have to, as part of your learning curve, put your poker to test. As long as you manage your bankroll, you can try new approaches at specific training sessions, and take some shots at the next level to take a look at what kind of players you're facing and to choose the correct running gear.

* But again have in mind that the poker play you feel confortable with is the one you should have a base on, that's where you're building you're BR foundations.
Like SnG "play to win" vs "play to cash", both are valid, you can't start shoving any two in bubble time if you don't know how to find the +EV spots or MultiTabling just because you read that's how you win. You should play for cash, and slowly assimilate advanced concepts that will increase your hourly winnings. Same thing for cashgames, loosen up when you're post flop game have a real chance, until then play tag and solid and wait for math to do the job.
Because when you're outplayed at some poker level, it goes down from break-even to broke.

Well, I hope any of these make sense, and if some member disagree please discuss it.

Awesome, it does

Just interested in trying the more aggressive option. The question would be then how much would you raise and against whome and in what position and this and that.

Anybody know some book or website that has some strategy formulated on this or should I start experimenting and fomulate my own stuff?
