Beginners often play aggressively because it's basically all they can do, as they lack the skills to play more intelligently and deliberately. However, experienced players who play aggressively can often be quite dangerous opponents and you should be wary of such players.

Live poker definitely gives you more of a read on people compared to online, where you’re relying on notes and HUD stats. I agree that at 2/5 and 5/10, you have to be willing to take risks against aggressive players, but knowing which risks to take is what separates amateurs from real crushers. Tampa sounds like a dream for steady, low-variance profit, but do you think playing against weaker competition long-term might limit growth?

It all depends on how you define a beginner. They could be a regular player who recently switched to a new poker room, and such "newbies" can be a trap. You might even be the aggressive amateur in this situation, so be careful not to underestimate others. Always stay alert, as aggressive play can backfire if you're not reading the board correctly.

In Omaha, there are even more people who don't fully understand the game, the main thing is to distinguish.

People are allowed to play however they want. U want people to make wrong moves, aggressive or not. It's not up to u to decide what people do with their (free) chips.
Hope that was a troll with the points system but pretty sure it was not. Rarely ever read such a bad suggestion 😅 wow

Well, you don't read much do you? I dare say there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of posts on Cardschat either complaining about the incessant shoving for no good reason, or laughing at the mindless nature of it. If Cardschat is intended to be an advocate of good play (as the course and the learning threads suggest) it makes sense to look for more proactive ways of encouraging smart play.
You could offer an alternative, or you could just troll me. You chose the latter. That's the last of your posts I'll ever see.

I read ur post and I was by no means trolling u. Ur suggestion is very questionable and it's not even possible to implement something like this.
How should this even work? U really think mods would then observe every hand and decide which play gets points and which not? Or u will send hands to mods directly, right? "This guy deserves points, he shoved 72 pre. (and I lost!)."
Everyone can play however they want. Advocate of good play 😅 yes there are maybe learning courses on the site but that does not mean everyone has to read and then use that material...in their daily community freerolls 😅 And will get punished if not.
If u don't like those players I suggest u to play real buy-ins. Problem fixed 💯 the more u go up.
And please don't be so sensitive and triggered. Im sure if u think twice about it u will get it 🙂

That's true) I think every poker player loves opponents who sit down at the poker table and just give away chips. In real life, in the poker clubs where I played, we called such players sweet) or sweet buns)) this is with kindness without any aggression). But sometimes there comes a moment when such a player starts to get lucky) it is especially interesting to watch this in live poker, when he is still drunk and falls asleep on the go)) and he is dealt nuts, almost every time he enters the game)). The whole table is trying to catch him, and as a result, all the chips are in his box)). It is clear that in the end, such a player will lose everything he won, if one of his friends does not stop him in time. But in those moments when such a situation occurs and the other players at the poker table cannot understand what is happening and what to do about it, it looks very funny).

Totally agree with you on identifying the competition. Live poker is all about reading people and adapting to their tendencies. Those aggressive guys at higher stakes can be a challenge, but if you're willing to take calculated risks and stay sharp, you can definitely outmaneuver them. I also like your approach to note-taking—focusing on betting patterns rather than just labeling players. It’s next-level strategy that can really pay off, especially when transitioning to online tournaments.
