a lot of these so-called tags are the cookie-cutter generic variety that don't particularly play that well to begin with. i can train my little sister to play 28/20 or whatever. doesn't neccessarily mean she'll know wtf she would be doing though. while that is a pretty vague generalization, but "TAG" in itself isn't flawed because i know plenty of players with the the same/similar stats/style that are huge winners, marginal winners, marginal losers, and big losers. some people just play better than others, period.

that said, a couple other reasons that seperate the men from the boys, the results from the reality:
games are a lot tougher than before
variance
table selection
tilt control

and also the one thing that people underestimate in importance is their hand reading ability and their opponents hand reading ability. this here is the number reason imo why it seems like so many TAGs lose while so many LAGs win.
