I'm having trouble exploiting TAG players at the micro levels. On Carbon there are a lot of them and few loose players. I 'm not quite sure about how to go about this. I've tried a few things but it blows up in my face. As a TAG myself, I'd like to add a successful LAG game to my aresenal. Im profitable as a TAG, but i'd like to be profitable the other way to. Anyone who has advice or help on how to this I'd love to know. I've played hundreds of thousands of hands, but dont seem to have the post flop skill that the successful LAG players have. Any help?:stupido2:
The smiley is how i feel everytime i try to change gears lol

i normaly re raise them alot...
i like to put alot of pressure on them.
there alot of way to do this.
example if u see that there fold to 3bet is about 50% then i would mix up plays on non-texture boards.

Another way is to see if there showdown % and win at showdown % is high. if not then 3bets on them can really work against them...


there alot of ways...post some hands that u have trouble on and then we will try to see if we can help

Fold when they raise you.

Why the hell do someone to exploit a TAG at micros when there fish everywhere?
There is no skill in this world better than table selection.

carbon is full of tag's. i get in on the tables with fish, but most of the time the tables with the highest percentage of players on the flop is around 21%. I miss poker stars and full tilt where there were tons of fish.

Also, stop playing FR, stop playing NLHE. You can't both choose to play the nittiest game in poker and complain about it. Play some heads-up PLO and you won't have to complain about TAGs.

well i decided screw it... i am not ready to implement a LAG style of play yet. and the game i play seems to work for me now. i know that if i were to move up levels sometime soon that this may not work as well for me, but thats not happening soon. my br is very limited right now, as ive been grinding from scratch. im at 21.03 right now, which is great considering i started with 0.00. i am going to start frequenting the casino more where my TAG style seems to work very well against all the loose players up there at the 1/2-100 game. going up there to grind all day tomorrow and hopefully it will work out again for me.
