I got a gernal question about a style of poker that I tend to play, lets make a note that augest of this year would make a full year for me playing poker. With that said I'm the type of player who plays loosely and aggressive raising a lot preflop and c-betting 80% of the time I've been called everything under the sun about how loose I play mind you I'm not a "winning" player yet due to my lack of disapline and br management but I consider myself a good player. Even though I'm said to be loose I only play what the table gives me according to my poker tracker my numbers are vp$ip38/pfr20/af2.5 would I be considered a bluffer or just loose agg?
You can't win pots if you fold.

I think you are asking for honesty so I'll give it.

You have said that you aren't a winning player, but consider yourself to be a good player.....
If you have a decent number of hands under your belt then you aren't a good player if you're not winning....discipline counts to being good.

Also if you are playing at the micro stakes, your 38/20 will not help you. You can't possibly bluff enough profitably at these lower stakes. You are putting money into marginal hands and playing against numerous opps most likely.....you cant win.

Tighten up, bet your good hands, value bet the strong ones and look to profit.
I confess in quicksand

Thanks for the input, what you said is exactly the same thing others have been saying, my discipline is really something I have to work on and I've been working on it. And the only reason I play so many hands is because most of these players are playing so tight and are avoiding situation it makes it a perfect situation for taking advantage of a nitty table. Believe me my normal style is aggressive but when there are other bullies at the table I know when to tone it down. And my hand sample is 20,000 total tourneys and cash combined not much but like I said I'm still new

If your PFR is 20% below your VPIP, you're not only a habitual bluffer, you're also a habitual calling station.
