Your cards can be the better before the flop, but often you will be losing when falls. It is obvious, with more players involved in the move but hard the competence.
• That so aggressive or passive are the adversaries
When you have seen that someone is rising many hands, or various they do it in a loose departure, have to return you more conservative with your initial hands. Alone pay with good cards with which you can endure an ascent, but is dead money that put on the table.
• Your position
The ones that are found in the last positions they can influence with more facility the size of the pot that the ones that are in the first. When they rise, other players already have placed money in the center therefore they can involve to 1 or 2 of them if such is their intention with a strong hand. If you rise in the first positions many were thrown away and the pot will be smaller.
• The quantity of money (or you put on file) that poses
If they remain you very few you put on file or money, want to elect a good hand and to play it to you all immediately (all-in) your objective is to double you or more.
Al contrary when you are loaded, for example have $800 playing in a table of Not Limit Hold' em with blinds $1-$2 can take but risks to deceive your adversaries and to seek situations where will remove them all its money.
• That level of risks you want to take
This depends on your style of play. You can play of form more or less aggressive before the flop. To the aggressive players does not import them to lose some as many hands, they want to gain pots large and they rise often before the flop. The most conservative they expect good letters to be involved before the flop and they try to gain a hand occasionally.
