I feel like I've just been schooled by a bunch of LAGs! It was a 6-max table with 2 TAGs on my right and 3 LAGs on my left - 70/30, 50/20 and 50/10. I think I just turned into a stupid calling station and didn't really have any plan on how to beat them.
I've just moved up from 50nl and still have the attitude that anybody with a vpip over 50 must be terrible and I must want to play with them. Does this still hold true for LAGs? Especially when they have position.
This is the hand that annoyed me the most, villian is Mr 50/20. I'm pretty sure I should have raised the flop, I'm almost certain I should have crai the turn but I told myself that there is no point pushing because he'd just fold if he didn't have anything. I think I need to get into the mindset that this is ok here because of the size of the pot.

I'm beginning to think that playing at these tables really isn't worth it and I should stick to looking for the loose passives.
Anybody got any advice for dealing with these situations or is the best thing to do to find another table.
