Average ranges of a TAG in NL10
A TAG will attract much attention pre-flop. From an early position, he is just as tight as a nit. The biggest difference between these two player types is seen in their ranges in steal situations. There the open raise range and calling range of a TAG is far looser than the corresponding ranges of a nit.
A TAG plays in between 17% and 25% of all hands on average, so about 10% more hands than a nit.

Comparison of a TAG and a nit
The call and 3-bet ranges of a nit do not differ from those of a TAG. The biggest difference lies in the open raise range; a TAG open raises significantly more often than a nit, especially in steal situations, meaning at the CO, BU and SB.
