You don't play Lagg to exploit the (good) Taggs. You play Lagg to take the fish's money faster than the Tagg can.*

Second reason is that you want to try and get a rise out of people. If you can get under someone's skin, they will make mistakes.

However, playing Lagg doesn't in any way mean you'll be taking the money away from the good Tagg at the table who manages to stay calm. Not at all.


* I got this idea - or to be more exact, explanation for my experiences - from a thread on 2+2. Sklansky made a post there advocating nutcamping and he got ripped asunder by the regulars. And then this excellent point basically came through.. you don't play Lagg because it is an ideal strategy or anything, you play Lagg because currently the way that NLHE is played is very aggressive, and Lagg can exploit this way better than Tagg can.
