Since nobody else is asking questions, I'll ask another. Which playing style do you think is better for 6-person tables. LAG or TAG? Or do you play vary based on position?

MickeyHoldem

I don't think any one style is better or worse, based "solely" on the table dynamics. You have to take into consideration your ability as well. Do you play well post-flop, can you out-play your opponents post-flop? If the answer is yes, then playing a LAG style may be the most +EV choice. If your post-flop play is less developed than your opponents, you will get crushed playing the same way. Both styles can be used successfully by different players.

Varying your play according to position is generally a good idea too!

Very true Mickey... I complete forgot about adding info about other players at the table. So, if a table is very aggressive would you play TAG and if the table is super tight play more LAG?

MickeyHoldem

Personnally, I'm playing LAGgy on both tables; very aggressively vs the tight table from later positions until they wake up and adjust. Even vs the LAG table, I'm in there mixing it up, if I feel that I'm a better post-flop than my opponent... Besides, playing tight vs a table of LAGs is not my definition of fun! Again, I still think it has more to do with your skill set than the table dynamics! If you can play well post-flop, and I don't mean "think you can play well", but ACTUALLY play well, then LAG is the way to go!

Yes is the answer to that question. Generally playing opposite of the table is the best strategy as long as you are a strong player in both LAG and TAG styles. In 6max I actually find that TAG play tends to work better because everyone thinks LAG play is best and justifies horrendous and crazy moves. When they are playing crazy your big hands will get paid off.
