The only way to win in poker is to bet, and the only way to win a lot is to bet a lot. Poker is a game of aggression, opportunity, and focus. In addition, as you master the basics of the game, you will learn when you need to increase aggressiveness at the table.

Aggressive style of play can certainly be effective, but only for experienced players. Aggressive play for beginners is almost a loss and disappointment :)

To be aggressive than usual is to bet a lot, betting a lot is risking a lot. Too much risk looses a lot.

Not quite right. Not quite wrong. Poker is about clinically managing The Tripple Threath:
Position
Hand selection
Aggression.
If you can muster all three attributes your foe is up for a tough challenge. Two attributes might do the job too. You can’t win by aggression alone. The real challenge however, begins after the flop. 80% are not cut for profitable postflop play. Hence, they make mistakes which the heavily skilled players relentlessly punish.

Being more aggressive doesn't always work, you have to know how to position yourself so that it works out.

It has been dealt with. But you are right. Unskilled players don’t get it. And they are Bambi on ice postflop. Might work in kindergarten but against skilled postflop players it is suicidal just to display aggression not being aware of the two other attributes mentioned above.

Generally speaking being aggressive in no limit is the way to go. If you are just learning no limit then you have to learn what spots are best to be betting or raising because it’s not for every spot. Sometimes checking is the best play. If you don’t know what to do because you are not experienced enough, you should probably just check until you learn what to do. Another good general thing to remember is to not invest a dime into something you know nothing about. Good luck!

The only way to win a poker tournament is by being aggressive and winning key flips. Of course, luck and well timed bluffs are also important, but overall, you can't expect to win a tournament by simply waiting for premium hands and hoping to accumulate chips that way. Success comes from actively making moves, putting pressure on opponents, and seizing opportunities when they arise. This is in my opinion for tournaments and for cash games i dont play like that i play for premium hands or when i see opportunity for free pot
