If you mean does the size of my opponent's stack affect my play, of course it does. Short stacks on the bubble become sweet targets for a pre-flop raiser or all-in. But of course, a lot depends on my opponent's playing style. I need to clearly understand how important the tournament is to him and, accordingly, how much he is ready to risk his chips.

For cash tables I do have a basic style+I adjust to each villain style of play separately. Stake size means less-almost nothing other then I'm gonna enjoying having his stake soon .
In MTT's I adjust to both stack size+villains style.
Cheers!!!

The problem with many poker players is that they always play the same way. I can't say that I play differently all the time, but I've noticed that if you play the same way with the same players, they'll often make better decisions against you over time. You should try to make the right changes and sometimes even change tactics on some tables.

Do I play the same way everytime? No. Absolutely not.
Different games require different styles of play...
Heck, even within a game you need to be able to adapt.
Early game, a lot of people will play a little more loosely as the blinds are small and the overall impact to your stack seems less.
Generally, I try to play differently from my opponents. If they are playing loose, I'll tend to toghten up and try to catch them out.
If they are playing very nitty ((tight), then I'll try to steal blinds. I'll be cognizant of their bet sizing and post-flop play. I love a good check-raise post-flop against that villain holding overcards vs a low card dry board.
Now, I'm not sure whether your question is about a hand or an entire tourney... I don't let a single hand affect my game too much. But occasionally, you come across a strategy that you haven't seen before...or some bet sizing that appears to be paying off... in such cases, I might amend my play similarly.
I play freerolls quite differently from how I play the Sunday Storm or Sunday Million.
I play later stages of a satties differently from the first half of the first sattie.
I try to play a bit differently every time I play with my (LIVE) poker buddies. We've been p[laying almost 10 years together...if one doesn't mix it up a bit, one finds he is easily readable.
Cheers,
JT

No, the actions of my opponents or their results do not cause me any emotions. It just doesn't matter to me. The main thing is what I do, how well I make decisions and how focused I play.

Most poker players will never go above the low limits. In fact, most of them don't even hit these limits! What's holding them back is the key mistakes they keep making. In fact, they themselves continue to put a spoke in their own wheels.Poker is a crazy game, and bad luck can sometimes stick around for weeks, months, or even years. But in the long run, everyone gets the same amount of white and black stripes. Thus, we can summarize that poker is one big test of endurance and patience.

I believe the stack sizes, both mine and my opponent's, play a crucial role. For instance, if I have 20 BB and raise 2, I'm left with 18. If my opponent raises to 6 with a 26 BB stack, he remains with 20, and by calling, I end up with 14. Considering the blinds, there's about 15 in the pot. The issue is that I become too short-stacked to comfortably play the flop, making it likely that I'll end up in an uncomfortable position against any flop. This example is quite basic, but it illustrates the point I want to convey. So, it always depends on the stack you're managing. In this case, I'm referring to Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs). Well, this is mostly my opinion, and I could be mistaken. Regards.

Of course I always play the same way if I see that my opponents collect a lot of chips, nothing and it's your turn to just wait and get into all the hands to win chips against your opponent, you don't have to play like that just play right and you will all be winning big money at distances

I have an overall general style that I look to adapt based off table dynamics.
Still very much at the early stages of learning so there's nothing to stop me from completely changing things up, and practice playing very differently in order to see what works, what doesn't. I think I should on occassion, it would be good to add more strings to the bow.
Difficult to force yourself to be tight if you're loose, loose if you're tight, more passive if you're aggressive, more aggresive if you're passive.

I very rarely play in the same way. I'm in a stage where I try new things and aim to improve, figuring out what works best for me. The problem is that you have to play a lot to see if something works or not in the long run. There are times when I abandon ideas faster than I should. Some things stay the same, obviously, but generally, I keep changing my playing style.
Regarding your other questions, I don't understand them very well. If you rephrase them, I would be happy to answer. Greetings.

I always try to play the way I feel most comfortable so as not to affect my game now whether it affects me when I lose against a player it only happens sometimes when I make a game mistake that I try to correct in the next hands

No, other people's winnings do not affect my game. Whenever I sit down at a poker table, I analyze everything that happens at this table and make different decisions in each situation. There are a lot of nuances in poker and each of them can influence my decision. When someone wins a lot of money, I am sincerely happy for this person, and I understand that if he was able to win, then someday I will be able to win. I always play the way I know how to do it, and I constantly learn something new from my opponents or from some interesting articles about poker.
