Some time ago we had a discussion about this with a couple of friends, and some of them shared your view. My view was (and is), that it's easier to control your own mistakes, far harder to induce bad decisions on your opp's part. Let's say we have two possible moves in a hand, one low risk low profit move where we are not making a mistake, and a high risk high profit one where our small mistake might induce opp to make a bigger mistake, we should opt for the latter? So you're saying we should gamb000l more?
