First of all, I rely on my own skills and experience, and of course I also hope for luck. Without luck nothing will succeed, this is the reality of the game of poker.

harmony is needed, as in football, goals are needed to win, but we must not forget about our own goals

I'm not generally an aggressive player, but I usually rely on luck, because without it, it's impossible to win.

I think you have to use both styles of play if you want to be successful.

Well, both.
If the opponent is agressive, I become more defensive. And vice versa.

The thing is if you want to be strategic, you need to be aggressive. It's only occasionally, if it's based on reads, when you can give initiative to others.

I've only been playing for about two years, but I still consider myself a beginner. For me, poker is primarily entertainment and I think that luck plays a very important role in this game, although of course skills also matter.

You have to be able to know when to get your money in when you have the best of it and protect it when you don't so I think my answer to the question is I am aggressive when I'm strong and hopefully folding when my opponents are strong.

Obviously both. Depending on situation(s) it is never wrong to use miliitary and/or police strategies ...

Depends on my mood, for example if i fail to have a success holding AJ AQ AK or something and this happens 2-3 times in a row i say "OH **** THIS" and i go all in next round.. something i really need to fix if i want profit :)

That always depends a bit on my hand and my opponents. you have to adapt to the situation.

Who am I playing?

Someone that doesn't know anything besides "me aggressive, me Jam" or they have 50-100BBs in a tourn with AK, AQ saying "ME ALL IN," LOL or am I playing someone that has a clue what they're doing and will fold medicore hands but when they wake up with a hand then I should take notice of what they're doing?

Good question! I'm aggressive on pre-flop and passive on flop, then aggressive again on Turn and passive on River. But most of the time I flip a coin to determine my current strategy. And a lot of it depends on my mood... and my mood depends on the vector of the sun, wind strength and lunar eclipses. :ROFLMAO::sneaky:

In my opinion, a good player should combine, attack somewhere, defend somewhere, depending on the opponent, but I probably manage to defend more often.

sorry but your question doesnt make much sense

being agressive doesnt mean that you rely on luck and being passive doesnt have to mean you are using "strategy"

that being said i am aggressive if i have to . while being strategic at the same time ;)

I consider myself and my stats prove that I am more offensive, in my opinion being more offensive will bring you more profit in the long run

It all depends on the situation and the number of chips, in general I am a midfielder.

I think being an aggressive player doesn't mean you depend on luck. There are even times in tournaments when it is advisable to play aggressive. It depended on the table we were at. But I repeat, I think it depends on the moment of the tournament in which we find ourselves. You shouldn't always play the same way. Situations change.

A bit of both. Many factors can determine how I play in any given moment. The way the table plays is probably the biggest factor.
