I have been doing pretty good playing the TAG style (5/10c NLHE). I make money steadily but slowly. I have noticed some people making a killing though, playing some unorthodox hands here and there. I am less interested in becoming a text book player as I am making money and doing well where it counts - winning.

So is it recommended that a person patiently play the TAG style, or is it good to mix it up some. If it is good to mix it up, how often and under what cirumstances is it good to do so?

Example:

I saw a guy doing well last night, he wasn't a maniac, but occasionally would call a 4xbb PFR w/ suited rags or something. Sometimes that darn thing would hit big time for him. He flopped a full house calling 4xbb with 25s. Made a killing on that hand. he was up for the entire session I was there (4 hours). I would fold KTs in the same situation.

Am I doing the right thing?
