play tight or loose

you prefer to play in a tournament with 10,000 players ? why ?

I prefer not to play in tournaments with lots of players. Because the tournament is very long time. Harder to take the prize. And sootvetstvenno harder to win big money.

I do not like to play long tournaments, like tournament with few players, and are turbo tournaments with 10,000 players besides the delay, become tiresome.

Fold to victory.

Depends on table, early stages in deepstack games I might play more hands pre if its a fairly passive table. If you going to get punished for limping I would just play a nitty kind of range.

In tournament play you will need to play both (and beyond) in order to consistently win. The real art is knowing when to shift gears.

Play in smaller tourney 300-450 players could improve your chances to be in the money.
You need to practices a lot(observe the table dynamic) and learn when to be passive or aggressive because both style are equally important in mtts or sngs.

While blinds are low - tight, then more loose, but always agressive. Honestly, all-in's are essential with lots of players(but with not really bad cards).

It depends on the buy in, at the stage of the tournament. I play micro so start very tight and become loose with time

it depends on what you can win, if first place is only 100$ i'm not gonna play for 6hours + if it's like 300 500+ dollars sure why not, also it depends on the buy-in

Tight at the begining and looser as the levels pass, and of course it depends and from the prize pool.

I try playing tight throughout most of the tournaments, and add a loose factor once in awhile to switch my game up. If I am short stack, I usually play someone tight shove or fold game. If I am a larger stack I play a little more loose.

First you have that determine which is your purpose of the your game. With this information, believe that you will make a good decision. Anyway, always is important observe the behavior to make a good reading of the players at the table, because the key to remain in longer tournaments is detect the hour of when increase or decrease the rhythm of game.

I prefer to not play in 10,000 entrant tourneys but I always stick to the style I know best which is tight agg... Too much variance in those types of game... Donk City....

Me I would have to say. Some times I play tight and there are times that I play real lose. With ten thousand people me I would play tight and take much time that I can. Because I know there is always a few people that goes all in in the first few hands.

i tend to let the table im sitting at dictate my play if most of table is loose il tighten up n wait to trap -if table is tight il look to play looser stealing blinds and bluffing more-it realy depends on that for me i dont play in mtt and decide befor hand how il play

I play live tournaments of 1-4 tables. I practice online on 2-5 table games usually on poker stars anymore.

I play TAG until I understand the group of people I am playing with and will either NIT up or go LAG depending on the play and then back to TAG as the play dictates, but no matter what as the game gets shorter I end up moving more towards a LAG style of play in the end.

It depends on the mass and players, but tight and aggressive I think it's good, though these tournaments are tough and long, but I strive for this goal, if you reach the final table take this timeout its stake in a fairly large percentage, but not reach you long hours of play .. remain a small prize is if you play at high levels then the rewards are good

If Iplay MTT of this sort, I play it tight and agressive at first. In time I start play more loose. It depends on stage of tournament.

I generally play very tight at these tables, and even have a tendency to limp in with a strong hand. Once I know I have a good shot at the pot though, I try to value bet as high as I can or if the other player is aggressive, I might go over the top and go all-in to double up.

I prefer 90, 180/ 360 turbo or regular, not much than this, but I play sometimes 10k tournaments

No it's very heavy

I play Cache loose and tight tournament . In this particular tournament to 10,000 people are waiting for a strong hand and put it all .

Tight at first while everyone is having a shoot out then more loose towards the end but I also try to mix up my play.

A field of 10,000 means the buyin is going to be low which means there are going to be many horrible players so instead of my normal tight play early in this 10,000 plus field full of bad players I will play looser pre-flop early because I want to get a bad players stack post flop. When playing good players you are not going to get their stack early so why play loose for small blinds? After I get what I want early I will tighten up and wait for good ante to blind ratio and then start playing a more traditional style stack building tournament strategy.
