We’ve talked about TAG play before (Tight-Aggressive), and LAG (Loose aggressive) before, but there’s another style out there that exists solely because of the mad poker genius Mike Caro called WAG (Weird Aggressive). This is one tough style to pull off. It take some poker table image building first. Here are the ingredients: First you min buy in. Play Tight-passive. Then turn your tight passive into Tight Aggressive. As soon as you’re pegged as a TAG by the other players, you add to your stack the maximum. Then you start playing LAG and TAG depending on the orbit and the players (since by now you’ve learned the table.) Finally to get to that WAG state, you begin making absurd bets. Have a favorite number, use that as your standard raise. Raise big on the flop, then minbet the turn. Start minbetting the whole hand. Checkraise on three streets. All of these will start to remold your table image. You’ll soon start getting players calling you just to see what you’ll do. And this is what you want. Because under the WAG you’re still mostly playing TAG poker. You minbet a turn and get reraised all in, you’re bouncing with minimal loss. Occasionally you’ll showdown your 9 high against AA if the price is cheap enough. And what have you created in this witch’s brew, a cauldron of confused online poker players and nearly total table control.
