And that may be right, but it seems more like there's a sliding scale on the weak side - meaning that you are weak when you have little to draw on and improper odds (even with +EV), but you are aggressive with decent hands with good odds to improve.
There are some 'weak' betters that will only bet 10c all the way to the river with strong holdings - they are at the other end of the spectrum.

Tight weak is vulnerable to loose aggressive in the short term. But it's almost a good thing for me. Take a few small hits against a loose aggressive, realize that they are in this category - and then eventually you will bust them out.
Tight weak seems like it's even more vulnerable to tight aggressive - but on an even less frequent basis - and hek in most of these situations I'm not losing too much - less than a dollar.

The thing about this style - it is playing fine for me at the .05/.10 Pacific tables - but I'm not sure how well it's going to carry up (though it will be months before I move up anyway). If moving up to that particular level means I hit a lot more TAG players, I will probably not do well as I will be running into them more than my hands can hold up at the flop.
hmmm... i dont really know, i dont like to classify my personal style as i change up depending on the table.. I play like that against a whole table of calling stations when i know every kind of draw is going to be out there against me... like the .05/.1 pacific tables.. the players there are ridiuclous.. I often see people calling or pushing AI with any A or K. On those tables i play passivly until i hit a high TPTK or better.. at which point i bet really hard beacause i'm gaurenteed calls from crappy hands. No continuation bets with overs... because they get called.

where as on my other site i play more Tagg and lagg.. and now i'm moving up to NL25 on pacific where it will be different again.. not sure quite what it will be like yet as tonight was my first session there.

the main thing is switching all over the place.. If your playing right then you'll never be vulnerable because your playing the style that beats any given player that you are up against.
