nice post.
as a newbie i was playing tight and something between aggressive and passive. bet your hands, folds your rags and take only 100% opportunities to steal.
after reading HOH 1 & 2 i got more aggressive with cbetting and sandwich moves, thinking of first-in-vigorish and things like that. trying out all those moves cost me a significant part of my BR. I learned it the expensive way, that playing aggressive might make u more money, but it takes far more skills. you have to know your position (never thoght of it much until reading books) and develop a good timing. against super-loose players with nearly no preflop strategy, those kind of french player you meet 80% of your time at EverestPoker, u cant steal anything with a 4BB raise as long any player has any 2 suited cards or broadways.
dont confuse getting aggressive with loosening up.
i´m still a beginner myself but that´s the things i learned the last weeks.
