Default Re: When should I raise the white flag?

I do not think that anyone could be a long term winner or break even player at these limits by playing so passively.

I have to force myself to be both unpredictable & aggressive in order to compete with the continually aggressive online players.

You may get to a table where there is a lot of aggression and think that letting them bet your hands for you is okay, bu that lets other players along for the ride and with LO8 hands being so close in rank and so often having back door outs, more often that not you end up losing to someone who just didn't belong in the hand.

With aggressive play, you force more mistakes - some players will defend with weak hands, some will fold when they have an edge on you, but you can't win by calling.

Good luck & Happy 4th.
