Yes except the dollar number is almost $4500.
From LA: (IN my experience even TAG's are around 40.)
The numbers came from a friend of mine. I might have heard him wrong but I don't think so. He's a 16/14/6 CR classic style player who has close to 30K hands under his belt. As you know sd converges much quicker than actual ev and 30K hands is quite sufficient. Next time I speak to him I'll ask him again.
BTW it's my goal to play the 5/10 NL games but not as a TAG as I don't think that method will cut it. I'm probably going to join Stox very soon and watch your vids. I'm assuming you play these games and higher as a LAG.
In another post you recommended Small Stakes Hold 'em by Miller. Isn't that book geared for limit play?

Yes that is for limit play, but I was a limit pro for the first half of my poker career.
As far as your thought that being a TAG doesn't cut it at 5/10 I would have to disagree. If you ask almost any player I play with they would put me in the category of a TAG. I play LAG at lower limit games but TAG at 5/10+. I am not positive, but post UIGEA I am 99%+ sure that I have the best WR of any 5/10 player on Stars and Tiltt as it is over 5bb/100. So maybe TAG is best!...hehe. Where the money comes when playing good opposition is you being able to cause them to misjudge what your actions mean. Most people think that I am just a std. TAG at these limits and they have an impeccable read on me. I have hear it a thousand times. But mixing up your play in a few timely spots and being able to hand read very well is really where the money is at in the bigger games. People wayyyyy over value the psuedo deception facotr in raising with a wide range of hands preflop. Imo it is all about making crucial later street decisions and being able to be cool and calm in these situations. Most 5/10 and 10/20 pros (and even a lot of the good ones) fail miserably at this imo. THere is no doubt that I get dominated by LAG's in the preflop and on the flop category. They definitely win a TAG's money in these situations. But turn and river play thankfully count the most and I really feel that is where I make a good chunk of my money.
That was sort of a long answer to your one TAG comment, but hopefully that explains it. If you want me to elaborate further I can try.
