Default LAG ironic style

this has happened to me a couple of times before, and it is really irritating.
you are playing 6max, and suddenly you find yourself at a table of really tight players (10% VPP) type players. also, 3 are passive too. so you switch to a LAG style to steal off them, figuring you can also get a bit of action on your good hands.

this started when i was up a buyin. i loosened up and it worked a dream. took down loads of small pots.
it is at this point that you start getting the good hands.

you rub your hands together in glee, and promtly drop 3 buyins. oops!

1) set over set . 1.5 buyins
2) all in PF AA vs KQ. 0.5 buyins
3) all in on F with AKs with NFD and 2 overcards against J8 of same suit. (suprised to find out i'm winning 81% here, instead of about 75%, cos i have about 16 redraws if he hits a J, as happened) 1 buyin

does this happen to any1 else?

If you want to post LAG ironic style, study David Sklansky, the maestro, specifically his discussion of the picture of him and Brandi. Also his response to Brandi in the most recent thread. Or his answer to How Many 5 Yr Olds.

Not for the faint of heart.
