tight / aggressive and loose / aggressive meaning?

What does tight / aggressive mean ? I know what each of them mean, tight, and aggressive individually. But what does it mean to have the style 'tight/ aggressive' ?

Is it just 'Usually tight, but sometimes aggressive' ? Like an 80/20 split?

Or is it more 50/50 split?

Can someone clarify? I think this is really important to my game..

Basically a combination of the meanings as u understand them.

A Tight Aggressive (or TAggy) is someone who doesn't play a lot of pots, but when he does, he comes in hard and will bet and raise when he feels he has the best of it or can take a pot away from someone

A Loose Aggressive (or LAggy) is someone who does play a lot of pots but plays them hard

On this topic... What would be the best way to play No Limit Hold Em? Tight Aggressive, Loose Aggressive, Tight Conservative, or Loose Conservative? (Atleast I think those are the four major ways you can play. Correct me if I'm wrong)

A healthy mix of TAGG and LAGG works for me.
Keep em guessing

tight aggressive all the way baby.

Surely it depends on the how the rest of the table is playing. If the table is tight you want to be laggy and vice-versa. Taggy is best at the lower limits.

Thanks again! On that note, what would you say be the best way to play in a SitnGO? Does it depend on the table and kind of players or is there a kind of play that works well with SitnGo's?

TAG for sng's. LAG for ring. <- my style

Conservative means something else. You are thinking of 'passive' here.

The best way to play is a mix of Tight Aggressive and Loose Aggressive. See my thread for a lot more info on it:

I would recommend playing tighter the smaller the stakes are and the newer you are to the game. If you are just starting try to keep your flops seen% under 20!! When you become better I would recommend at least trying laggier style in ring when in position. In MTTs/SnGs I would recommend the tighter way of play, you have to value every chip you've got.

Watch ilikeaces86 for TAG style and Michael1123 for LAGG style of playing..

My flops seen % tends to be well under 20%* but I'm still apparently semi-loose-aggressive/aggressive. Which I'm pretty comfortable with - I am perfectly capable of playing TAggy when necessary, but like to loosen up a bit on weak/passive tables and take control.

*I think I play quite a lot from the blinds, which are, oddly, my most profitable table positions
