Default Re: I\'m going to do a LAG experiment

I really think any rules like this are a bad idea for LAG play. Read some of Jamaugha's posts, he has some good stuff. LAG is all about reading their hands and also reading their style.

Here's my suggestion :

1. Play your normal TAG game, *but* any time you think someone is just on a late-position raise & continuation, take the pot from them. Mix in reraises preflop, floats, check-raises on the flop, etc. Ideally have a draw when you do this so you have outs in case it goes bad.

2. Next, open up your LP steal & continuation range. If it folds to you in late position, open almost any two. If you think someone is trying to call you down with something weak, or trying to float your cbet, bomb the pot and take it away by check-raising the turn vs. floaters, etc.

The guys in HSNL do this all the time. They may not respond directly to your request for LAG help, but if you just read some hands you'll see this is a major part of the HSNL game (eg. resteals from the blinds against a suspect button steal, etc.)
