Re: How come whenever I go to a live casino it\'s the LAGs who win?
They aren't as Super LAG as they appear. They understand how to appear to be "lucky" and hit their hands when needed. It is part act, part knowledge of their opposition, and part knowledge of the game. They understand the implied odds of hitting with rags. They understand how to isolate opposition and then play aggressive after the Flop. They only show what they want you to see.
Think Gus Hansen. |

First, note that the biggest winner is reasonably likely not to be a good player. You might consult Sklansky's bit on why the guy winning after day one of the WSOP never wins the tournament, to develop your intuition for this sort of thinking. Also, a lot of the best players play LAGgy live. In particular, the ones who cut their teeth online tend to. It's a good way to play against weak competition. So, in short, the guy who wins the most tends to be LAGgy because the best, and the highest-variance of the worst, both play that way. --Nate |

I dont think this applies to limit, as 70%-90% of players at a table will see a flop depending on the stakes. In no limit if you are an ABC TAG player you need to open up your starting hand range and play the cards you decide to play more aggressively, at lower stakes sucha s 1/2 and 2/5 you will encounter a lot of LAG players who just throw money around with any two cards.

Re: How come whenever I go to a live casino it\'s the LAGs who win?
I can think of two reasons:
1) More Information: Good players can have a bigger edge over weaker players live, where they can pick up more information. This allows them to bluff more and play more hands for profit. 2) Variance: If you take 5 LAGs and 5 TAGs at one table, the TAGs will probably be doing better on average while the winningest player for that session will probably be a LAG. To correctly gauge a players winningness you'd need to see how they do over a longer period of time. |

I always see these these super lags sitting on huge stacks at the table.. but then I remember that they reloaded their stack a good 4 or 5 times to get their.

This is simple
1) they pick up a top of small pots 2) they get paid off when they have the goods |
