What does TAG mean in NL?

Seriously, I don't know.

Default Re: TAG

I wasn't trying to be funny. I see TAG in player descriptions relatively frequently and have no idea what that means when applied to NL. LAG is loose and aggressive which, to me, implies playing a lot of hands and betting/raising a lot of different sorts of hands (made hands, draws, etc.) postflop. Good LAGs know when to not be aggressive and bad LAGs just blindly throw chips into the pot until somebody folds or there's a showdown. Most people specify whether they're playing against a good LAG or a bad LAG but nobody says anything about TAG. They just say "MP is TAG" and leave it at that. When I read a description like that, I have no idea WTF it means.

alright, let me give it a shot

in 6-max, i classify TAG as player who has a pretty tight range pre-flop (raising AA-99, AK-AT, KQ), but when he hits a hand / is the pre-flop aggressor, continues with that aggression post-flop, ex. c-betting

a TAG is someone who i dont expect holding 45s in a raised pot.

Tight and Aggressive and opposed to Loose and Aggressive (LAG). They usually play a minimal amount of hands but play very aggressive when they have any kind of hands. Usually fast play everything and when you're in a pot they're putting maximum pressure on you.

So basically a TAG is a totally predictable and straightforward player? Why would anybody not want to play against them?
