    I'm your average small stakes player and I find TAgg to work very well there. But I'm going to be moving up soon and I'm looking for some info about LAgg play. It will particularly benefit me in later stages of MTT where my TAgg style always ends up taking me from top 20 around the bubble to barely ITM when the sharks start pushing me around. I've read a couple of books but no one who writes books really employs much LAgg, or so it seems. Can anybody out there who uses this style hook me up with some advice or tell me where I should look for some?

    Thanks

    A couple pieces of advice, Jive: First, exploit tight players on the bubble (and the final table bubble). Obviously, I wouldnt get too crazy out of position, but let's say you're two off the money and you pick up q-7s (or some other hand youd insta-fold otherwise) in an unopened pot UTG+1. Well, throw out a raise! You already have a tight table image (Im guessing), and most people pucker up right before the money, its an easy way to accumulate chips quickly - though if you get called or reraised, obviously hit the brakes hard. Dont do it too much or itll become obvious, but crank the agression up on the bubble (if youre in position and there arent any calling stations left to act)and you should find yourself in better position once you hit the money. Also, its pretty well established that (esp. at the lower buyins) people suddenly get a lot looser once they hit the money, so tighten up for the first level once youre in the money and try to fastplay your big hands (assuming your table does, in fact, get looser at that point - remember, tight table=play loose, loose table=play tight). Just a few basic tips, hope they help.

    get this book:

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...08108?v=glance

    I think it will help you to better understand what you need to do to switch up your game. I think its one of the best unknown poker books out there.
