How to Curb Youthful Aggression
![[user169505]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
How many times have you heard an elder statesman of the poker world say that the youth of today have taken the game to another level with their aggressive style of play?
Team Pokerstars Pro JP Kelly is a player you would categorise as a young and aggressive player and I am sure Paul Ribaud would not be offended if I called him the elder statesman in this example.
Kelly has the number nine seat and Ribaud occupies the number ten seat. It didn't take long for Kelly to find himself in the big blind and the only person standing in his way of stealing an uncontested big blind was Ribaud. Kelly bet 250 and Ribaud three-bet to 850 from the small blind and Kelly folded. A few hands later and Kelly limped into the pot, Ribaud raised it up to 650 and Kelly called. The flop was a king-tastic looking 
. Kelly checked and Ribaud took down the pot with a 1,250 bet.
Then on a board of 
Kelly and Ribaud were again at loggerheads. Kelly check-called a 1,225 Ribaud bet before the dealer gave us the 
on the river. Kelly decided to let Ribaud bet and he didn't disappoint the young Englishman. A 1,600 bet earning Ribaud his third consecutive pot against the Team Pokerstars Star.
