TAG vs LAG

In live play unless you're in a bigger game, I just don't think LAgg is viable between the rake and the epic levels of redardation from other players that you would need to match to get any attention.

I'd respectfully disagree here. I play in these games two or three times a week, and while you're absolutely right that it's hard to match the true loose maniacs, even some of the worst players notice incredibly tight play enough to shut you out ocassionally.

LAG play isn't about an ocassional extra call here and there at all. It's about mixing up your raising range enough that good observant players aren't always sure what you're coming in with, and loose bad players assume that you're one of them. It's the ability to escape from a sinking ship that makes the difference between a TAG player employing loose aggressive tendencies from the true loose maniacs.
