Heh.. I'm finally starting to understand the attitude, the way my friends play poker. It is VASTLY different from the way that is advocated and taught here on FTR. It's pretty brilliant. I would have NEVER come up with this style of play myself, but seeing that it works and wondering why, I've ran some odds calculations and I'm starting to see why it is in fact a good way to play.

But yeah, it's really different from anything seen here on FTR. Analysing each individual hand and line is useless in that strategy, because the way of the Lagg works on different odds than those given to you by your hand. Can't say too much more about it at this point, because I'm still trying to fully understand it.

But I'll just say this, to those guys, 50NL and 100NL are a playground, the real challenge only starts at 200NL, 400NL and 800NL. (they haven't gone higher than that with any consistency) And I don't mean they grind it for 5BB/100 average every day.. when they play 50NL and 100NL, on a typical $100 buyin-for-the-day, that's a say 2 in 3 chance to double up to $200 in a few hours, or 1 in 3 to go broke. Pretty good, right. The way of the Lagg.. these guys call it "real poker" hehe.
