    Default Agression Factor

    Just looking at other people's posted stats it seems my af is pretty low.


    over 35k at 100nl playing 21/13

    Flop turn river total
    2.72 1.28 1.18 1.57


    I've changed my game a bit over the last while,

    Over the last 2k I have in my new party database, I'm:

    23.5/15/

    Flop Turn River Total
    2.08 1.37 1 1.59


    Is my aggression glaring low?

    I would say that you could stand to increase each of the streets by a point--maybe attempt for 3 on flop, 2 on turn and river?

    Seems you may be not second barrelling quite enough....and maybe missing a value bet or two on the river.

    not if your winrate is high.

    different AF's profit different styles of winning. there's no magic formula or one-size-fit-all number to acheive.

    do you win? nuff said.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    I like to keep my flop aggr about 4, turn about 2,5 and rivr under 2. But it's my style and yours can be different and better like choppa said. In my opinion river aggression shouldn't be above 2 at low stakes because if it's higher than that you're bluffing too much and betting/raising weak hands. It just doesn't work on low stakes.

    i think its very low. Try slowplaying less, and bet your draws from any position. I would also bet into scare cards rather than check. For instance, if a flush draw hits on the river, I would bet around 1/2 the pot with a solid hand (two pair, tptk, etc) rather than check. The reason being, im getting value from hands that I do beat and preventing some from getting the oportunity to bluff me off a hand. Ans ince i bet my draws, a 1/2 pot defensive bet is indistinguishable from a 1/2 pot value pot (had i hit a draw).
    My point is, find situations where you might be checking, and start to bet. I think youll find that this will raise your aggression factor nicely
    Me? I always tell the truth.

    Even when I lie.

    cbet more and 2nd barrell more against bad floaters. flop af at 2 is way too passive.

    like izy said, bet your draws, c/c lines are so obvious, that you mostly wont gain much when u hit. balance your strong draws with TP/2pair lines to keep opp guessing, to get paid when u hit and to gain some FE every now and then.

    dont c/c when u can lead out and look for spots to block rivers instead of check/calling

    6max.

    hmm, i do bet all my draws etc! don't slowplay.

    what confuses me is that I can't see many spots for aggression in my game other than pure blind aggression.

    remember, your AF = ( bets + raises )/ calls. So you can increase it by calls->raises, folds -> raises, or calls->folds.

    But as others have said - don't change to increase your aggression, change to increase your $/hr.
