I don't have time right now to get too deep into this (maybe later), but I feel that I NEED to warn you to take the things "Raistlin" is saying with a grain of salt. He's speaking very matter of factly, saying: "This means this and that means that, so therefore you need to do this." And not only is it not that simple, but that's just not right... as evidenced by him being a losing player still after 3+ years or however long it's been. I mean, for the TAG example he gave above, those numbers aren't even possible. GL raising 15 hands out of 100 while only playing 12 out of 100 - that's a neat trick right there.
Also, classifying a guy who is limping in more than he is raising preflop as aggressive, well, that's just not right. And the per street numbers are shaky at best after 150 hands, but 1-2 certainly isn't off the charts crazy aggressive. I only play 6 max, but my PT aggressions number on the flop is > 5. My total for all streets is > 4.
As for his advice of backing off against Mr. 28/12 when the flop comes 952 - wow. I really couldn't disagree with this more.
I'm not trying to attack Brian here or say that he's completely wrong or anything like that... I just see him giving some bad advice and I don't want you to put too much value into it. I mean, if any given losing player teaches you to play exactly like them - guess what????
OK, I spent more time on that than I expected. Gotta go........
