Those friends of mine run way higher than that on the lower stakes, as LAGs, my friend.
Running higher than 25ptbb/100? Incredibly doubtful, it can be done just not over a significant sample, especially not way higher.

The only way they did this is by playing way over their bankroll which is shown by being able to go broke the next week, these arent friends I would be learning from.

Anyways jack, you are just a beginner, playing "LAGG" is easy, understanding what you are doing and why and actually playing it well is not. In my opinion as players gain more experience they learn ways to add more hands into their playing range and learn how to play those hands profitably. A lagg [typically] isnt somebody who just started playing a bunch of hands and kept with it, its somebody who developed the ability to play more hands profitably. What VPIP and PFR percentages would you shoot for as a lagg? There is a difference between a lagg and a maniac.

Also, I cannot be convinced that laggish play is very profitable at the small stakes. For it to be profitable people have to try to put you on a hand, understand what you are repping, etc. At the micro stakes, players just dont do that. I would wager that my tag play is much more profitable at these stakes than your lag play.
