I always thought calling someone lagg or tagg is just a statistical analysis of their play from a perspective that usually doesn't see their hands (poker tracker).

If I were to describe my play as lagg or tagg, I'd usually say lagg, but I've made a lot of money in very loose games by just camping. Poker levels tend to flip-flop. Tagg is better at bar tourneys, lagg is better at most low-limit casino games, tagg is again better with all the laggs at most higher limit casino games, and something in between is better at games where everyone knows each other, like the ultra high-stakes stuff and home games among good players.

You guys might be able to translate this into the limits of online poker, but I really can't. From a statistical point of view, a good player will make more over time with higher variance using a lagg style, but if you can describe your style in four letters, you're on the wrong track.

The truth is, you can't label a good player. Adaptive is the key word. If I'm playing my best, I'm playing the opposite of what you expect.
