Having Your Own 'Style' is Extremely Inefficient.

You should be countering the playstyle of those at the table. If they are tight and you play your typical TAG style you will likely have a losing session. You need to bring out the loose fish in your enemy by being loose yourself.

If others are being LAG bullies do you think you gain anything by proving you got balls? No buddy, you must wait with scissors to cut theirs instead. THEN, when you've taken chunks of their stack, you can remind them who has the balls remaining.

Be a hybrid, be a monstrocity but for some games be tight, sneaky slenderman



For other games be Jeckyll and Hyde



For other games, be Good ole' Taz:



Once they change to counter you, do not remain as the beast you are. You must not enjoy how you play, you must enjoy the profit in itself otherwise you will develop a consistent, exploitable playstyle.

Contrary to popular belief you should not play loose at a tight table and tight at a loose table. Actually, according to Mike Caro, you should adapt by playing tighter against tight opponents and slightly looser against loose opponents.

Headsup, this is true.

In bigger tables or tournaments of many, this is absolutely false.

I don't know.. I switch my styles constantly during a game.. I like to squeeze tight players, be pressure loose players with 3 beets and reraises to keep the kinda honest, and push the bullies back often showing bluffs more than actual winning hands..
