Can I win at the micros playing a LAG style?
I've played 11k hands at 10NL playing 32/28 winning 11bb/100. I feel like my game is good and play a good style at these stakes. There are a fair reg TAG players who I exploit thats my reason for playing so loose.

Can I carry this on at 10NL and moving onto 25NL? Or do I have to tighten up to be more profitable?

whats lag style never heard of it

You would have to tighten up a bit, my advice is to observe a few rounds and see how the table plays then adjust your style to fit the table to exploit weakness.

tighten up in my opinion...

LAG = loose aggressive
TAG = tight aggressive

[jram68]

players at limits under $1/$2 generally play loose. The playing level at $1/$2 and higher is really good and usually tighter.

LAG = loose aggressive
TAG = tight aggressive

ok thanks thought it was something new

11bb/100 is pretty good. You can get by with playing lag at 10nl, but 25nl, esp on tilt, you will run into so many regs that are nits. In 25 they'll 3bet your socks of, so you'll start having some big swings playing lag.

That said I think 32/28 is a little too laggy for 10. I think you can get by with somewhere in the ballpark of 26-24/18-16. Players will stack off with tptk or less on a consistent basis, so there is a lot of value set mining and playing speculative hands. It wouldn't hurt to tighten up though, and if you move up to 25 I think you'll have to.

sample size??? How many hands have you played?

You want to play the opposite of your table, if people are tight, play loose, if they are loose play tight.

You don't want to be a complete LAGtard at the lower levels.

What site are you playing at?

[mrmarket]

Full ring no. 6 max yes but don't spew when you meet better players as you move up. All this is predicated on proper play anyway. If you're good you'll continue to succeed. If you're bad you'll go broke. Just the nature of the game.

tight is better in micros because your more likely to be paid off, but it can be profitable playing loose, sure.

If u playing well postflop and making good decisions/reads LAG style is more profitable IMO.
