was that loose or tight/aggressively play. my thoughts about this, at first it seemed to me that the loose style of play would suit me more, but in the end I play differently, sometimes it seems that I believe in stereotypes and that's why I don't play the way I want. waiting for your advice.

Always tight, in any type of game, especially in the early and middle stages, after bursting the bubble, you can go all out in playable pocket hands.

Tight aggressive, I thought this was the only one. But not now.

A conservative game, especially at the start of tournaments.

In the first months, I played very cautiously and tried to avoid any risky actions, which was wrong to say the least. I had no understanding of the strength of my hand and position. But as soon as understanding came, my game changed and I began to play more aggressively and more effectively. But this does not mean that I started playing all hands in a row or that I started playing with junk :)

When I first started playing, I really had no idea of how to play, so I was the epitome of loose passive. I would call almost every hand preflop regardless of the action so I could see a flop.

As a newbie poker player, it's entirely normal to be uncertain about your preferred playing style and to have thoughts about different approaches to the game. I believe finding the right balance between loose and tight/aggressive play is essential for long-term success in poker.

Since there is no one-size-fits-all approach to poker, finding your optimal playing style might take some time, but as you gain more experience and knowledge, you'll naturally gravitate towards the style that suits you best. As for me, I stay committed to learning, stay disciplined, and just enjoy the journey of becoming a better poker player. Good luck to us newbies!

When I started to play my style was very tight. After a couple of years, I noticed that the best style in my opinion is tight aggressive.

When I started playing, for the first few months, I didn't really understand the basics of the game and relied more on intuition. In other words, I was just playing bingo. As a result, such a game led to losses, disappointment and a rather long break.

When I started playing, my style was very tough. Now I'm playing more hands and more aggressively.

A tight game. Didn't understand the hands and wins, so just preserved my chips. Today I play tight, with a touch of aggressive at the right times.

It's watching other players play their hands so you can adjust to them.

Omaha interests me a lot, I think I have a good performance and it's very entertaining, although like most, the one that made me want to learn and play is Holdem.

Hi :)
When I started playing, I followed a very simple principle, I just didn't play with junk, and because of that, I actually had pretty good results right away. Now more than 5 years have passed since that time, and I still follow this simple but effective principle.

As a newbie, I generally start with a tight-aggressive approach, which will provide a solid foundation for my poker journey and give me the best chance of success as a newbie player. Then maybe I'll transition to loose-aggressive as I improve my skill. Just my 10c.

At first it is rather tight, and if it pays off it comes nicely (the card), then a little looser, but only in moderation, only in a way that looks at more flops.

When I started, I didn't know what style I was playing. Most likely, it was the style of a donkey. Now I play tight-aggressive, but unfortunately sometimes not aggressive enough.
