Default LAG versus Hyper LAG

Im an NLH LAG player and i win an average of two max buy ins in a 1 hour period. Ive have seen good Hyper LAG players make 10 times there max buy in 30 minutes to 1 hour. So i started recently playing a Hyper loose Agressive style and i have been winning an average of about 5 max buy in an hour even with all the variance. Its great. When i was a good TAG player i would only win about 1 max buy in per hour.

It all comes with level I think. I think at the lower levels you are really setting yourself up for sick variance but at higher levels LAG is the only way to go. Since I am still at a lower level I am trying to work on opening my game up.

If you're only winning 5 buy ins an hour, you just arent very good.

You should shoot for a bare minimum of 10.

It sounds to me like you had a good week and you think you have it all figured out. Just wait. Your in for a rude awakening. LAGs and "HAGs" show profit for a short time because all it takes is for you to make a few wrong costly decisions before you go back in the negatives. It may take some time before you run into the nuts multiple hands in a row when you decide to push allin but it will eventually happen.
Oh yeah, and TAGs arent scared money, there smart money.

ok OP, define "HYPER" LAG

I play pretty laggish but I tighten up a little postflop.
If you're winning as much as you're winning, you ought to be showing down or else theres no way you could make 5-10 buyins within an hour.

I'll open the pots with any suited connects and any suited gappers and proceed to the flop aggressively, but even then most of the time I'm either way behind or not called. It's only when I hit hard that I would profit greatly. Otherwise playing laggish, most hands have no showdown value.

ELABORATE

Yeah, 5 buy-ins is pretty sick... even if we are talkin' half-stackin' that is like 250bb/hr. If true congrads, you are the greatest poker player ever!

...other than your friend that is making like 1000bb/hr of course...
