My 3-bet is historically really low, only about 4-5%, but I've been working on it recently and its more like 7% now. Likewise I'm laggier in general lately, although not much higher overall.

My edges come from :

Table selection, I rarely if ever sit at a table full of TAGs, I'm off looking for fish to donate.

Postflop edges, I feel I have an edge postflop against pretty much all opps (one reason I historically havnt 3-bet much, I'm comfortable just calling and playing flops).

Exploiting TAGfish. Whilst I wont waste my time sitting at a table full of them, I can basically read these guys minds (since anyone whos paid attention knows how a TAG plays), so its pretty easy to find spots to win $s off them.

Overall I've never found it hard to get paid even playing tight. Some of my most profitable stretches I've played as tight as 15/11. Its pretty easy to manipulate your image without going nuts, and thats if anyones paying attention anyway.

I prefer to gambool it up v's fish rather than nutcamp. 1. If I play a marginal hand and lose they're more likely to gambool against me next time, 2. Someones gonna take their money, and it wont be me if I'm not in there playing with them. I agree most regs are easy to exploit, but I'll take the fish if I can find them, and can always work the regs on the table at the same time.

Its interesting though, I tend to playback, by calling and raising flop, because TAGfish c-bet too much (its what they read to do!!) and therefore I win more $s, however your 3-bet stategy seems to be working out really well. I guess there are times I choose to change my mind postflop because I think a flop hit their range or whatever, and sometimes they'll actually hit a flop and not fold.
