Amazing post Split.
I loved everything except for your deffinition of LAG:
Quote:
You see LAGs focus everything on LP play, with heavy emphasis in the CO and button. This doesn't vary at all from TAGs, as TAGs are very positionally aware and ramp up how many hands they play as they get closer to the button. But LAGs take this a step further and start adding more hands a bit sooner, and also add even more hands from the CO and button. A TAG might only steal 35%, while a LAG is constantly focused on pressuring every edge and may be stealing around 60%. This is your first step in transitioning to a LAG...you don't just randomly jump from 13/11 to 20/18...you ease into it and get used to playing more hands, adding initially on the button, then the CO, then the HJ, etc.
This is still solid TAG play and EVERYONE should learn it if they wish to progress beyond the micros. The vast majority of us are at the micros to learn not earn. As the game continues to get tougher it becomes more important to maximize winrates. It may cut down on the number of tables played but notice high stake pros aren't playing 6+ tables and I am willing to make a PSB they make more/hr then the best micro grinder...but I digress.
As Split explains it this style isn't about pre flop numbers at all but learning to aply more pressure when proffitable to do so. It is about learning to play situationaly and increasing the number of proffitable hands in your arsenol and playing your opponents and their cards as well as your own.
So what is my deffinition of LAG? It doesn't belong in this well written post.
