Looking at only one side of the coin, and opting to be blindly more aggressive without actually improving your card reading and play, will lower your score not raise it. Simply because you've deliberately become a weaker player, by choosing to bid less accurately. 2/2 | |

They bid, call, and play more accurately because they evaluate hands, particularly difficult hands, better; and more accurately read the cards behind opponent calls. That naturally looks like aggressive bidding when aggression is called for; and caution otherwise, which you're ignoring. 1/2 | |
