    Default over aggressive?

    Since i have put money on this time i have noticed i am a lot more aggresive. People watch to much tv, in the sense that if anyone bets hard its always a bluff. For instance

    so does this mean that if you are over aggressive the more someone with a ok hand is going to call you? This seems to be a reoccuring problem with me as of this week so im just wondering is over aggressive is not a good thing?

    I would call that over aggressive even on a loose table.

    Actually, I'd say the play was pretty good.

    The post was already pretty large(about 18 bucks) by the time you pushed all-in. After a 2 dollar bet preflop, you can pretty much bet that the only hands that can beat you are trips, AA or KK.

    By going all-in, one of two things will happen...you'll take down a good sized pot without a showdown, or you'll get called by someone with a 10 and take all of their money.

    You got lucky this time and got 2 callers, one with a case(top pair) and the other with a few screws loose(AK).

    There's no reason not to get them to commit their chips on that flop if you're pretty sure you've got the best hand. Worst case scenario, they fold and you just made 18 bucks. Best case scenario, you make 50.

    problem?! players calling you with mediocre hands is a GOOD thing! they are paying you off, putting money in your pocket. Just 'cause they outdraw you sometimes does not mean you are not making money in the long run.

    These are the types of opponents I look for. Just don't try to bluff them.

    Default thanks

    I want people with mediocre hands to be calling me, that was never the issue. My problem is being over aggressive and whether or not its makes me money or looses it for me. Im not to mad about this beat, its a little weird but im not going to bitch since i have seen worse. My thoughts on the AK guy is that he thought I was bluffing when i reraised him all in on the flop. So he figured he'd call and why not im bluffing (sarcastic tone). I love the fact that he called, as a matter of fact i want to put his name on my buddy list and play only tables he is frequently at. One thing I have noticed about online though is people are more likely to call an allin with a BS hand then a 4-6x BB raise.
