 Just trying to understand the mentality of these players so if you once played a poor loose aggressive style it would be helpful. Is it just a lack of understanding of the game and hand values odds etc., they think poker is all bluffing, an excessive  desire to gamble or an inflated ego and a belief that they can outplay everyone at the table.

Compared to what I have been seeing lately, that can be considered tight. Now i would understand  a noob making some dumb plays but i have ran players on sharkscope with 2000-3000 sngs  behind them and they are still making ridiculous plays, 4 betting all in with air. You think they would catch on at some point, not that I am complaining. What I can't figure out is how players that dumb can earn enough of an income to afford to play.

You will struggle to find a top player who isnt Loose Aggressive.

Not saying loose aggressive is bad if you know what you are doing and I am sure there are a lot of top players that do not play a predominantly loose aggressive style.

I'm talking about low stakes, particularly in PLO. There are players that play 80-100% of the pots and raise about half.

Don't we all unfortunately weak tight players get blinded out before the bubble.
