As is covered in the Sklansky NLHE book, winners make mistakes in small pots, and losers make mistakes in big pots. Or something to that effect. Basically, they argue that it is technically an error to openraise 85s. However, a good aggressive player is more liberally aggressive early in the hand, when it costs him less money. He makes smart decisions late in hands, and he comes out on top. He can exploit players who only notice "raises with bad hands."
Bad aggressive players tend to miss this important distinction, and they can lose a lot of money.
