Is 24/20 too LAGGY a style to be profitable at these stakes? I'm pretty solid postflop but maybe I should just tone it down a little?

IMHO, no (though others might disagree). I play alot laggier than you (if i'm not 12 tabling), not to be crazy but to get as many hands in with the fish (or to steal/resteal from the tighties). Plus there is kind of an exponential thing that happens when I double up: I get to play deep stack poker against other deep stacks who generally have no clue how to adjust to the deep stack realm. So, if I sit at a table and there is a deep stack, and if he is a fish, I have an urgency to build my stack before he leaves the table.

Anyways, here is a quote that I always liked (whether or not it is dangerous to apply to uNL) from a post by Samo (a laggy HSNL player):

- First of all, as cero pointed our in a recent post, playing more hands gives one that many more opportunities to win a fish's money. For the simple reason that I am playing many more hands than the average player, I am provided with many more opportunities to win large pots against players who will overplay their hands. Additionally, by playing hands like 8-6 or 5-2, I am MORE likely to hit a hand that will be both disguised and give a weak player a chance to have a top pair/overpair type hand that he will stack off with. Note that if you play tightly, you will not get these opportunities with AA, KK, AK, etc - since (a) the opponent in the hand will be mathematically less likely to hold an overpair or similar cards and (b) if you hit a hand hard, your opponent will be less likely to hold a TPTK type hand that he might stack off with. Otherwise stated, if I hold 8-6, my opponent will be more likely to stack off with AQ.
