If I think its going to be raised, I'll dump it, paying 2-3 SBs just to see the flop is to high a price for me. I'm playing with a reduced Std Dev these days (when i'm not drunk).
Loose Agg tables send my variance through the roof, its nice when you win those big pots but they don't usually hold together long enough to ensure some nice $$. Which is why I'd take the passive table over the LAG table. Also its not often you find a tight passive table, if its passive its usually loose.
