How do you feel about loose/aggro Vs. tight/aggro? There are many advocates of loose/aggressive play, but my question is, are they winning despite playing loose/aggressive? could these players win more if they played tight/aggressive?
A couple years back I did a very non-scientific study using PLO. I played roughly 50,000 hands at 49/15 and compared my results with my normal play of 28/15.
I won using both styles, and I actually beat PLO25 & 50 for 4.10BB/100 (which would be a pretty good win rate) using the loose/aggro style. However, my win rate using the 28/15 approach was 5.7BB/100 at these same stakes. If I had started off playing loose/aggro (and never tried tight/aggro) i might advocate it as the way to play, since I won pretty handily.
So, the question is, do you win because of the loose/aggro style or despite it?
