The most difficult players to face

Good morning everyone, not that I'm afraid, but I have a very big difficulty, when I face very aggressive players.
I play at the micros and I don't really know if playing too aggressive at the micros is a good strategy, because in many situations where the villain is betting a lot, in some situations he's bluffing and bluffing at the micros doesn't seem to be very good, because villains tend to call many times with the 3 or 4 pair.
But I confess that this is my weak point, playing against very aggressive players.

I'm afraid of those who put a lot of bets on you, the most aggressive put a lot of pressure on me

Not afraid of any player, but there seems to be one player who just gets so lucky on the river all the time against me that I question whether or not he is somehow cheating. We can go all in at the turn, and I will be at 80 percent and then bam he beats me on the river. I make it a point not to play him when we are at a table.

It's not fear, but fear of opponents who, with nothing in their hands, go to Allinn, in addition to disrupting their play, end up getting lucky

I am a little afraid of players who go all-in almost all the time. Sometimes they really have strong hands and sometimes they are just lucky.

when playing in tournaments there are always different players, especially at the micro limits. You can only beware of inadequate fools who play just for fun, performing random actions

I am usually not afraid of being outplayed. I am more afraid of very loose (crazy), aggressive players, who go all in with anything and runner, runnera 2 high flush against my preflop aces.

Before, Russian players were very insensitive, but for some time now I've been seeing Brazilians and more recently Germans play in a way .... I had a German the other day at the table raising 2000 in each hand and when he was defeated he had A7 or 95 all kinds of cards that you would never play.

Not really afraid of anyone who plays the game of poker. I love the game and I hope that this is good enough for me to play.

Hmm mainly PokerStars algorithms
By the way, yes! Pokerstars algorithms are sometimes puzzling in their consistency. I often caught myself thinking that at some point in the game it is necessary to change tactics. But maybe this is just a false conclusion.

10 years ago or so I probably would have said the calling stations scare me because they call with nothing and then often have luck on the river. But in the meantime I've learned that it doesn't matter if I win or lose, it's up to me and if I make mistakes, it's up to me. It is seldom that you have a 100% winning hand, so there is hardly a hand that you can treat like this and you always have to reckon with the fact that you can lose no matter how good the cards you have are.

The agressives, because you will mostly have to have a value hand to win with low risk to be eliminated. Even beginers are very dangerous when agressives, mind the agressive good players.

You are very reasonable, fearing cold-blooded calls of your opponents. There is an ambush to be feared. For sure, but not a fact.:cool:

I'm afraid of opponents who play few hands because it seems like they're playing tighter. tousi.. can be easily spotted and avoided when they give some raises meaning they have a good hand
