Wow, Steve-O. That was excellent advice. Thanks!

I play the poker according to the situation and after identifying the skills of my opponents then only I decide to play aggressive or tight.

This has to be one of the best posts

The only hands I played were something I knew wouldn't need much improvement on the flop and also raised aggressively.
I caught Aces twice, both times doubling up. I caught trip queens with the river, doubled up there and made a nice call with pocket 8' when the guy only had 7's.
I make the money in that game but in the very next game I find myself going all-in with a pair of Kings, 8 kicking against a pair of Aces.
Does anyone have any tips to maintaining a disciplined tight/aggressive game?

well one thing you might realize is that everyone will be trying to be playing thos perflop made hands when it comes down to your final 4 situation. what u have to do is take advantage of that by raiseing more perflop with lesser hands, otherwise the blinds will eat you up. one other thing you can do when someone is doing the same thing as i metioned is to go over the top of there steal raise ( making it a re-steal ). all in all , you have to play more hands and make bigger players comming down to lesser people. sometimes thos people who wanna wait for thos good hands will not be in long enough to do so. then when they have a small amount of chips in relation to the blinds then pot odds will take care of the rest, you will be making easy calls with garbage hands. try it out , lemme know what you think ...

Very good , I Agree with playing tight , as that is my way of playing ... Aggressive play will

eliminate Some Tight Players, But theres nothing in the world that will eliminate the DONKEYS.

why would you want to eliminate the bad players?
