getting paid off by virtue of advertising--happens *all the time* for me. It's naive to think my opponents are always "just bad".

I can personally attest that I have paid off Wintermute on more than 1 occasion when I should not have. in fact, he was one of the few at the table who I would have paid off. And it's because I've seen him make big bets and raises with hands I was clearly ahead of.
The LAG style is a difficult one to play against, and it relies on meta-game, game-theory type considerations for its success. Which is why single-hand EV calculations are misleading when trying to assess the effectiveness of its overall style.
And its for precisely these meta-game reasons that trying to correctly assess the play of very good players who are playing many hands with each other is utterly pointless.
