Default The "LAG" Playing Style

Almost all articles or videos I see made by winning online players advocate playing the LAG style with a full buy in at the table.

Now, I guess if I am winning I shouldn't change things but every now and then I decide to give it a go.

Maybe I think it's cool to play a LAG style, maybe I think if I could play a LAG game which returned the same profit I would make more in bonuses and rakeback. Maybe I just fancy a change - I don't know.

This is the typical sort of thing that then happens. I sit down in a $200NL game. I am on the button with and there are 2 limps. OK - Time to punish the limpers and I have position, Ill raise to 4bb. 1 player calls.

Flop is:

Opponent checks, I think well I could have raised with A and bet. He calls

Turn is a blank
opponent checks, I bet, opponent calls.

River another blank, check - check. He has JT - a pretty weak second pair.
I think why play LAG, if I had any ace he would have played that the same and I would have won the pot. I think I'll just wait til i have a hand to raise next time.

Anybody here play a succesful LAG game in cash games?
