Aggressive players push action so making proper checks and calls against them can be tricky. Here are the key factors I look at: how loosely are they playing pre-flop, what range of hands could they be continuing with, how do my outs and equity stack up, and is there a big pot brewing I have a decent chance to steal? Checking to see a free card can be okay, but against maniacs I often lean toward a check-raise on the flop or turn to steal their aggression blind. Thoughts on taking it to them before they take the pot from you?
