Re: Poker is a game of accidents

Everyone is talking about "TAG" and "LAG," I think what we fail to think about is that another style may soon revolutionize the game.
I introduce to you, the LAP.
The LAP (Loose and Passive, obviously) will be the next big thing in high stakes poker. This style will be so difficult to play against- they will check, and call. Check and call. Check the river with the nuts, and then just call the bet. Preflop, the LAP will always limp, never raise. You will never know when the LAP has a big hand, because his preflop stats will be like 50/0, with no raises to define his hand. The aggression of the LAGs and TAGs will be used against them- the LAP will call call call, all the time. The LAP flops top set? He will check it to you on three streets, no matter how draw heavy the board is. You will have no hand reading skills against the LAP, and you will FREQUENTLY find yourself value betting the worst hand. [censored] end of the straight on the river? Have to value bet it- when WHAM- the LAP has slowplayed the top end the whole time, and sand bagged your ass into value betting the worst hand. If you think that Aggro LAGs really put players on tilt- you haven't seen anything until you see a LAP put someone on tilt. TPTK? Value bet it until the end. If the LAP flopped top two, he'll be milking your ass for three streets of value. Check check check, call call call. Most of these LAPs play in tournaments around the world, and in casinos live. Primarily, the only LAPs known to man are in the AARP club. However, wait until the young, internet generation gets a hold of the LAP style... the possibilities are endless.
Remember, you heard it here first.
