One of the big reasons that beginners are advised to pay tight preflop is because it keeps them from having to make difficult decisions later on in the hand.
Cash games shouldnt be about avoiding marginal decisions, they should be about finding the right side of them. You want to be in more pots with poor players because you want to give them the most chance possible to donk off their chips to you. The question is how is this most explotable? I dont think you can lump all poor players together and say "play LAG against them and be rich". Poker players all have different styles, and poor poker players all have different styles too, For every different type of player you come up against there will be a different way to exploit them fully. You cant just say "LAG" is best, or"TAG" is best and claim that people who disagree "just dont understand". The correct answer, as usual, is "it depends".
