Default Is it easier for a Tight/Aggressive player at high or low limits?

I would like to settle a debate from another forum.

No he [Dan Harrington]has higher ROI in tournaments with more advanced players... a slow down style doesn't work at low limits... because your slow down style and playing elite hands doesn't work as well because you get your elite hands cracked a lot more at low level tables because of the lack of folding no matter how much you raise....

It is a good thing at times but if you are overly aggressive with power hands, which most people are, then you are limiting the hands you play and maximizing your chips causing you to get hurt by big hands that don't cash... pushing you to tilt...

You could simplify the poll question maybe a little next time. ABC TAG works wonders at low limits.

And yeah, ABC tag is all thats going to work at low limits. Players dont fold, so dont get fancy.

Firstly it's not true that large raises don't cause folds, they do. A 3bb raise don't stop loose passives calling to see the flop early on though. Something near 10% of stack is more to the mark, and weak players will still call to hit flop,and often stack off with top pair dodgy kicker.

Going by Sharkscope, players making frequent small raises, in a LAG style were often losing players, or winning less than TAG players, who waited for big edges, or saw cheap flops, and folded out of position lots.
