I hear so much about how its so beneficial to play LAG in razz, so I thought I'd try it out myself. Did I do it right?

If you know that a guy will raise 3rd street after a limper, when he's holding (A-Q)-6, then you can profitably call that guy down in a whole lot of situations.
Which leads to one of the reasons that LAG play in Razz pays off -- if you have a LAG image, you will get a lot more value out of your good hands because your opponents will never believe that you have the goods.
The trick, and I'm only just starting to figure this one out myself
, is how to keep that LAG image while actually playing a lot more to the TAG side than your opponents will give you credit for.
