The Sexiness of a Lag - Little Theory/Article Xposted

[DaycareInferno]

i still think its kind of an over romanticized stat, just like most stats. yes, its good to be agressive and take every opportunity you can to pick up money, but W$WSF is still heavily tied to vp$p whether you do that or not.

i played a couple of sessions last month where i was just horsing around and ran with a vp$p of something like 36. in those sessions, my W$WSF over 50. was it because:

a) people suddenly feared me

b) i suddenly became a better and sexier player

c) most of the time my hand was a fukn trainwreck, so all i could do with it is either bluff with it or fold it

a TAG with a W$WSF of 48 would probably be a losing player, because they wouldn't be showing down medium strength hands often enough, which they will have a much higher percentage of the time than a LAG will.
