It may be that they have made easy money and have lost a bit of respect for money, so to throw $50 K into a pot is nothing to them. To the more experienced and battle hardened pros, when someone raises by $50 K, they sit up in their seats and think twice about calling or re-raising.

Many times they will frighten off other players and they have probably been getting away with it playing poker online. I wonder, if they are face to face with some of today’s poker pros, whether they would still be able to get away with such aggressive poker play. Sometimes yes, but all it takes is a few calls and aggressive play back at them, and if they lose a few hands in a row, their stacks will take a knock… and then what?

Play poker too loose and too aggressive, it can backfire on you. Its all about being selective and turning on the aggression at the right time. Some of the young guys have made a very healthy bankroll, by making money playing poker online. By developing a big bankroll they can now afford to play aggressive online poker.

It will be very interesting to see the young aggressive online poker players matched against the older, wiser, experienced poker pros in the WSOP – Not long to go now….

I just thought lets give it a try and see what comes out on the flop.  Always remember that your opponents never know what you have, if you’ve been playing tight all night, then they may think ahhh she has finally picked up a good hand, I had better back off for now…

Anyway I got lucky with my five, eight – got another five on the flop and the river card turned out to be an eight.  My two pair ended up being strong enough to take that hand.  But then I tried it again later and got bust, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don’t – thats poker folks! Better than wimping and limping on the sideline!!!
