| ...assuming you are able to play both well. I've seen people play profitable tight play and then try to loosen up but not really know how to adjust to their new style of play. They usually end up playing any hand and then either fold or get too attached to their crap hands. Either way, the point is you need to be comfortable with whatever style you play, but if you can play opposite of your table well, that's obviously preferable. |

| re: get loose or tighten up? poker I little of both I would play a tight agressive style play good starting hands only but play them agressively . That is just how I would personally play untill final table well probably all the waqy through but I like that one hand at a time advice. |

| with a large stack, in this part of the tournament I would play agressive for a while, push a lot to people with smaller stacks feel trheatened by you, and then, after a while start to play extremely tight, because if you start being agressive, most of people will just call with very good hands, especially if you were playing tight since the beggining |

| Your stack is there for you to use. Other players are getting desperate, not you, so play however feels comfortable for the given situation. However you have to know your opponents. Some might be clueless, some might know what you're doing and shove a raise from you with more marginal hands figuring you're just bullying the table. Like everything else it's situational. Look to put pressure on the middle sized stacks as they will be more reluctant to push in contrast to the smaller stacks with M's under 8, say. And btw, congrats on being ITM. Now just seal the deal. :-) |
