Volume Betting vs Selective

What approach do you guys use?

Having a lot of action or being selective on a couple of bets. I think its a balancing act I guess, having too few bets will leave you exposed, having too many will leave you exposed as well.

Its similar to playing poker, the aggresive one vs the conservative one, they both have thier tradeoffs.

What way do the professionals play?

it is simular to life.

everything in moderation.

youd better have crazy discapline on bet size to bet the boards, and youd be able to pick your spots if thats what you are doing. One way or another each approach will be tempted to go offcourse. board better playing one game HUGE, and spot player betting more and more games then planned.'

just my experience that spot playing maybe 5-7 plays a week is always more profitable for me moreso then betting the board at 30+ plays per week.

I know it's smart to be selective but I enjoy a lot of action
