(they also encounter the most variance = *profit*)
in the right line up, being reckless is hugely profitable, if you have it under control. (this is the trick.)
in the wrong line up, its suicide, no matter how good you are. (if youre good, youll recognize this fact, and adjust)
if youre not up for it yet, fine, dont do it.
if it doesnt suit your personality, fine, dont do it.
you can be a nit and win. no problem.
by learning about
good LAG play you
1] prepare yourself for the future, when youre more confident in your post flop play.
but for now, prolly more importantly you
2] learn what good LAGs are up to, and can therefore figure out how to better counter act their strategy, and exploit it.
i see threads here all the time in which OP has a problem with a LAG, and doesnt know what to do, and lo and behold, has no idea why a LAG does the things he/she does.
another trap is when someone sees a LAG open 64s, flop a str8 and stack someone, and they falsely believe that this is what the LAG was trying to accomplish by raising trash; no, he just runs good sometimes. (another occasional by-product of lagging it, not the goal.)
they think "i wanna do that" and end up getting into heaps of trouble trying to imitate something that they totally dont understand, which is a recipe for disaster.
so, if this is the case, yes, you are just being a position pounding spewtard without a cause.
