Learn to play winning poker with a kickass attitude! Sky from Smart Poker Study explains why aggressive play beats passive limping and calling. Discover four key parts to develop a winning mindset: staying present, using aggression over passivity, playing with positive EV thinking, and detaching from results for long-term poker success.

Aggressive poker play gives you two ways to win - making the best hand or forcing folds. Focus on positive EV decisions over short-term results.

Building Your Poker Warrior Mindset:

  • Replace passive limping and calling with aggressive raises and bets for maximum value
  • Use aggression to create fold equity - win pots without hitting your hand
  • Stay present at the table by eliminating distractions and warming up before sessions
  • Focus on positive EV decisions rather than short-term outcomes
  • Exploit opponent weaknesses using reads and patterns instead of ego-based plays
  • Accept that losing with strong hands like pocket aces happens 18% of the time
  • Compare your win rates between aggressive and passive plays to prove aggression works
