It is said that aggression has its own value , meaning that often aggressive plays can make money with weak hands because of Bluff poker bluff value. In general, opponents must respond to aggressive play by playing more loosely, which offers more opportunities to make mistakes. While it is true that aggressive play is generally superior to passive play, using any play exclusively can lead to predictability.

Steals happen more often in tournament situations due to the escalating ante blind structure making the starting pot poker pot quite valuable.
