If TAA is the best strategy, which is second best?

It seems like the sLA-A players are making the most money. TA-A might be second best.

TPA< if it exists. LPP is by far the worst to be, and LAG is down there as well.

I think that slA-A players can succeed in loose and passive games(like Party .5/1) if they keep their VP$IP in the low 20s, like 22-23. They must have good postflop play with these extra hands though.

if a LAG has some control over himself he's probably can win. The problem is that they blow a lot of their money off on smallish pots. So, a smart LAA would probably be second (if not first) to a TAA

my roommate in college is a self-described LAG and we're both killing our dorm game and the micros at stars/party respectively

There is no way to be profitable over the long term with a 40 VP$IP in any low limit hold em game, in my estimation.

Tight Passive-Aggressive and it isn't close

Aggressive play postflop takes down the money. You can't be passive and win at this game.

I rank the TP-A's third.

TPA is easily the second best style

Dead,

We are in the microlimit forums so of course we're discussing loose passive games. The sLA-A players aren't just succeeding, they are crushing these games. Good post-flop play is a given.

This was the first data set (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=micro&Number=1442030&f part=&PHPSESSID=) from Zuluking and there's another useful one in the same thread from Cardzy.

I somehow recall a follow-up from him, but I couldn't find it.

The problem with that logic is that few people play very well after the flop. Your typical SLAA (which is pretty much TAA in my book) is not a super good postflop player. Certainly not good enough to allow him to play 25-30% of all hands.

Played properly LAG isn't a money loser.

I didn't think we were discussing typical players. I figured we were discussing 2+2er's.

How can you make money with a VP$IP of about 35? Most LAGs have a VP$IP at least this high, and I don't see how someoen can stay profitable when they are playing so many unprofitable hands like A5o, K8o, etc.
