Somewhere in there, if you play enough, you pick up handreading. Bad LAG's, who cannot hand read, will never get anywhere. Good LAG's have a huge innate advantage over TAG's, though - they know what the TAG's have.

This may seem odd, but what exactly is LAG and TAG?

LAG = loose/aggressive. A LAG plays many hands and raises/bets a lot.

TAG = tight/aggressive. A TAG plays less hands, but has a high bet/raise to check/call ratio.

Other options are loose/passive and weak/tight (which is just the way people say tight/passive).
