A few of you will remember how I squawked about the usefulness of pre-flop aggression, and aggression in general, when I was known as Jiggus. I believe that I finally can put some evidence behind my hunch. Playing the same limits with two different styles has netted me rather divergent results.

My theory is that at loose, passive, very low limit ($10 NL) tables, full of inexperienced players, with a few "sharks" here and there, PF aggression and bullying thereafter will only get you into trouble. Yes, I've won more pots, but lost a lot more money. I can steal a lot of little pots with aggression, but the downside is getting trapped for big losses periodically. The one does not offset the other.

My results thus far at Full Tilt ($10 NL):

Hands: 22,500
VPIP: 16.55
PFR%: 7.26
Total AF: 2.09
BB/100: -1.43

My results at Paradise ($10NL):

Hands: 33,880
VPIP: 15.21
PFR%: 3.31
Total AF: 1.66
BB/100: 5.47

I am looking forward to hearing from winning players at the same limits who use an aggressive technique. If it works for you, tell me how, please. Where could I be going wrong? Or, perhaps, my theory is valid.

Many thanks.
