Last hand before the break (ugh) Deepstack 30-3

Playing passively against a TAG is generally bad.

I feel like I understand what you're saying here intuitively, but I wonder if you can elaborate on this idea a bit.

My intution is that you can't let a tight aggressive player dictate the size of a pot or how the bets get into a pot. You either don't give him action when you feel he's strong, or you raise and reraise to allow his tightness to come into play and give him a chance to fold when you feel you can push the TAG off his hand. In any case, you don't just call bets, (and here's where I get lost) because you're likely to be behind? or because you get no information about the TAG's hand?

Bleah. I am curious if there's a general principle I'm missing here.
