not entirely true. i can play at either NL 100 or NL 50 within my bankroll .. i kept watching these asian players on the world poker tour playing complete crap and just laying waste to the tags at the table.. i wanted to learn that.

so i played at NL 25 playing every connector card, unsuited or suited, up to 2 and 3 gappers, playing for sets with small pocket pairs.

i was draining lots and lots of money, i was playing these cards out of position against a raise and a reraise and kept draining money.

i lost maybe 200$ at the NL25 tables before i started catching and made that back in a couple days, and moved up to NL 50 to give it a try with great success.


the most important part of learning the LAG style is to learn your opponents. you have to know the hands they play.. how much they raise for those hands, and go from there. read them for a hand and take them on with garbage in position, and compare the flop to your hand and what it does to your opponents range of hands, if you have the better hand, stuff an all in back at him.
