Ways to Improve

CALL LESS! That is the best way for an Agreeable player to improve.

Selectiveness is a key to poker. From preflop on, you should only be playing hands that have good odds of winning, blindly calling "because you never know" just isn't good poker strategy.

Tilted Donkey has many tutorials teaching players to be selective.

BET and RAISE MORE! That is another way the Agreeable player can improve.

When you call there is only one way you can win--that is by seeing the showdown and having the best hand. When you bet you can win that way, and you can win if everybody folds to you. Aggressive play is critical to success.
