Poker is a game of accidents

[Kirkrrr]

For the most part, I think I would have to agree with aejones. LAG vs TAG is not really a matter of profitability, but simply a matter of personality. I could not more play a "solid TAG" game than a 16/6-type player could play a super LAG game. It's not in me, or in him.

So to say that nowadays everyone has adjusted to the typical LAG game and playing TAG is more profitable is incorrect, imo. Once you start playing against a pool of regular players, the game becomes simply who can adjust to who faster, much like an average HU match. Whoever re-adjusts to their opponent first, wins. If someone is playing to tight (TAG), the LAG will run him over. If someone is playing too loose (LAG), the TAG will keep snapping him off until something breaks. So your individual playing style is simply a matter of personality and isn't really subject to change, but you MUST be able to adjust to your opponents and table conditions in order to win consistently.
