For example at 10NL on a friday night where you have 2 or 3 players than are like 40 vpip or higher at your table playing a LAG stlye is like burning money IMO cause that lag stlye depends somewhat on FE and in this game you pretty much never have any FE

Well that is not quite true imo, Lag actually relies on good hand reading more than FE, you enter a lot of pots and valuebet very thin (and not just only bluff like mad)

Imagine this, you are at a table with four nits and one fish (loose passive fella). Then you will play lag not to bluff the fish, but to isolate him and then play a lot of pots, you don't mind him stacking you, as you know that as long as he doesn't leave, he will make mistakes and you will profit.

At a saturday night 10NL table you are playing only fish, so everytime you raise, you are isolating a fish ... but that does not mean you can't play a wide range and just read postflop. Still the latter is difficult, and if you have that kind of skill, then you perhaps shouldn't be playing 10NL. (Unless you've moved down to experiment)
