In my last few columns I explored the need for aggression in WSOP tournaments and high-stakes stud cash games — that is to say, stud games with big antes and bring-ins that create a large ratio of pot size to initial bet size.

In this column we'll look at what to do when facing opponents who have themselves adopted those same aggressive tactics against you.
Your better opponents will often be very aggressive in WSOP tournaments.
