'Aggressive' calling can also slow down someone who is trying to bully you a lot. Calling them down on each street when you haven't necessarily got the strongest hand. 

Good ploy or not?

agressive calling doesn't really exist in my head. I wouldnt make a point to activley call more than normal to stop someone bluffing as the natural reaction to this from a decent lpayer would be to bluff a LOT less and really widen up the hands that you bet for value.

If someone is showing a perpensity to bluff a lot than you would want to be calling with hands that are strong enough slightly more than you are betting them

Read this 5 times and still dont get it.

Am I right in thinking aggressive calling is checking to all bets then shoving on the river? I know the moves but not the terminology.

Think they mean calling quite wide as a statement of intent.

eg, calling down 3 streets with ace high and it being good. May well put them off bluffing you in the future.

Good first brackets was a test run to see if it works. Must be [X] that I mess up. Hey up. That works too. A Sunday afternoon sat with tighty getting IT lessons sure helps. Even tho he can't even post pictures using my laptop. Anyway here is what I wanted to say

[ ] Ace hi is  a big/wide call and should be at the bottom of your range.

It's not a ring game, you are h/u Ffs and ace hi is gonna be ahead the majority of the time. But we can't make sweeping statements like this because every hand presents it's own problems. There are times when you may call with 8 hi on the top end of a busted straight draw (if you think they are bluffing the river with some quirky lower straight draw and trying to take a pot they can't win without bluffing.) Now that's some heavy shit right there and if you own a mans soul in a live heads up game with a call like that then the rest of the match is easier. But when one of these calls comes off for you as a lady you have to look him straight in the eye, wink at him and say "I've got your number  son. I've got your number"

What I meant in response to the question is I dont think "aggressive calling" exists as a strategy particularly, opting for a strategy that is centered around a passive approach leaves you very open to being exploited by anyone able to adapt

If someone is showing a willingness to bluff/semi-bluff and barrell off much more than he is to call than I'd be wanting to chk/call with hands that I might otherwise want to bet with, these hands would as a stnd be from the mid-ish section of my range in any spot.

gogogogogogogogo post results plz Tongue
