Default Re: Turning on the LAG gear

[ QUOTE ]
It's generally true. A good LAG can certainly outgain a TAG, but even an average LAG will earn less then a good TAG. Being TAG certainly limits variance somewhat because in general they enter the hand with the best hand. LAG's accept that they might not have the best hand but are willing to play on the flop to outplay TAGs or fish. Plus LAG's tend to get good action on their good hands when people expect them to have 76s and they have KK.

Yes and yes, plus it's very difficult to tell a true LAG from a fish. (Hint: In ring games, look for the semi-LAGs with a VP$iP of 22-26 with a nice stack.) Those of us who are 18-19 often pass up hands that win big pots, and get a lot less action on those we do play. It's really the s-LAGs that are doing the real killin'.
