I see where all this is coming from. My point is just, and I could be mistaken, that nowadays a decent % of the other 4 TAGs at our table are already trying those LAG strats and most of them do this in a very poor way. Furthermore I see a lot of people even at 50nl 4b bluffing, 5b shoveling A3s, check-jamming bare overs in 3bet pots or pulling supposedly sophisticated multiple street bluffs vs not-so-weak-ranges. I take that as evidence, that staying in line lets us exploit our perceived ranges very well.
Maybe I'm running bad, I cant remember the last time I caught a reg bluffing beyond a cbet.
