Poker: I have spent a considerable amount of time playing Texas Holdem in an agressive way throughout the early phases of MTT’s. My reasoning behind this type of play is that you need to take command of a table and try to accumulate chips early to stand the best possible chance of winning.

It is of course possible that the poker cards will not fall your way and you will find yourself short stacked. In this instance I usually simplify my aggressive play rather than cease it altogether. If you still have enough chips to cause significant damage to an opponents stack, then playing your strong hands very fast preflop, prevents opponents from pressuring you out of pots on a missed flop.It is always easy to say that bluffing is the best way to lose a big pot, but such aggression always has to be calculated carefully. If you have a generally aggressive style of play, you find yourself quickly developing skill with judging post flop situations, and seeing more clearly when a flat call is a trap.

Having said all this, it is important to understand the value of tightening up in certain poker circumstances. When you have accumulated a strong stack, it is sometimes best to sit back for a while. As mentioned previously, when you find yourself getting short on chips, the best form of aggression is infrequent all in betting, preflop, with strong hands and with position in mind. Loose and aggressive play is liable to get you more action when you make a very strong hand too, so be sure not to slow play your big hands when you are playing a loose aggressive game.
