I'm more of a TANIT which is a tight aggressive nit. I really don't open limp occasionally will limp behind but play a relatively narrow range of hand. From what I understand ot's basically BK's older style of play.

Hmm I guess I'm TAG but I'm a bit atypical.

My style of play is sort of TAG pre-flop (say 22/10 or so but often with <50BB's and premium hands limped in EP looking for a push or 3 bet) but then I push it post-flop pretty much up to the edge (W$WSF around 47-48% depsite my shorter average stack so I'm pretty pressuring for a $100 or $200 player).

One irony for me is that when you are playing short the old school TAG's are the hardest guys to make any money off as they won't overextend pre-flop against you. A table full of TAG's is about the only one I'll get up from when playing short. By contrast the STAG's are your second biggest meal ticket (after the spite/donk calling idiots) as they just just can't outrun the maths that a 30%+ pre-flop steal iis simply a losing strategy against a good shortie. (yes the good ones can adjust a bit, but they are usually reluctant to do so if there are deeper stacked fish around and yet to act in the hand)


But in general the young pros obviously have way more time. They damn well should be better than the older part-timers and I'm sure that they are. Then again they need to be - it's their job/career/life/whatever. For us older guys it's a bit of pocket money and some R&R.

I's sure if I was twenty years younger and without a wife/job/family I'd be playing poker from a beach in Byron Bay (and boy I'd be a lot better than I am now).

Actually I'm rather disappointed with a lot of the younger online pros (more 2+2 than here) in their lifestyle choices. I'm not sure they realise the incredible freedom and possibilties that being good at online poker brings to them...and they mostly just seem to sit at home, eat pizza, get fat, watch porn and buy a more balla TV/chair...

But the main point is that being better at poker than someone else does not make you a better human being, or even a smarter human being and certainly is likely to make you a less balanced human being.
