"Well, actually, my approach to poker is quite versatile, and I don't limit myself to being simply offensive or defensive. My playing style varies depending on several key factors that I consider in each situation.
First, the stage of the tournament is crucial. In the early stages, when the blinds are low compared to the chip stacks, I tend to adopt a more aggressive strategy. I look for opportunities to steal blinds and build my stack. This may seem offensive since I'm pressuring my opponents and trying to accumulate chips.
However, as I progress in the tournament and the blinds increase, my focus can become more defensive. Now, my goal is to preserve my stack and avoid unnecessary risk situations. This may include a more selective hand range and a more cautious attitude, especially against aggressive opponents.
I also carefully consider my opponents. If I'm playing against less experienced players, I might adopt a more aggressive strategy because I can exploit their weaknesses. On the other hand, if I'm at a table with experienced and observant players, I may become more defensive and be alert to possible aggressive plays against me.
I also take into account opening ranges. If I'm in an early position and have a strong hand, I'm likely to open with a large bet. But if I'm in a late position and the blinds are high, I might opt for a smaller opening or even decide not to open with marginal hands.
In summary, my poker playing style is a combination of offensive and defensive, and it adapts to the circumstances. Poker is a game of skill and adaptability, and my goal is to make the most advantageous decisions in every moment to maximize my chances of success."

Discipline! Sometimes I play very risky and aggressive, which has its advantages in the short term, but then I start to restrain myself and if I don't move, discipline helps me consolidate my success! There is no and should not be a definite answer - it all depends on the situation, as well as the fact that you will play the same hand in different ways, judging by your position.

I think it would depend on the moment ans the size of my stack

Before the session starts, I understand that both styles should be present in my game - but as soon as a couple of failures occur, I inexorably slide into defense - I invent value for my opponent everywhere, and so on.

Both strategies, and you win with skill. It all depends on the players on the table, if two out of 6 players play too much and risk aggression, you know that they can easily be deprived of their money, so naturally the rest will calmly wait for an opportunity. On the other hand, if you play calmly, you are lucky and win hand after hand, you join them and play aggressively. I once played a tournament where I won 35 hands in a row, I played cards I would never go all in on, but I made the most of every hand. So you never really know how you will play, it's the hand of cards and other players that will decide.
