    It’s like this guy read all the books and understood 50% of them. Tight/Loose is about hand selection. Aggressive/Passive is about betting strategy. Playing AK on the button is tight. Calling is tight/passive. Raising is tight/aggressive.

    I play loose 5/10 blinds to around the 25/50 blind level. Then I tighten up a bit.

  • 28 January 20123:13 pm aas1988

    you are using the terms tight and loose where the terms passive and agressive should be used. ur a fish..lol @ videos

    also, for the most part, this guy is right for once. tight early in a donkament is optimal. lol at youtube morons saying otherwise. same people who complain that they’re just unlucky when in reality they suck.

    @commishguy lol at people following negreanu as god. ahaha.

    Thats what i thought, I used to be extremely tight but now at the start I think it’s best to try and get your stack up early so you are ready when the blinds go up.

    Playing tight early on in a tournament is bollox, the blinds are small, see as many flops as you can with most good cards and hope to flop something or try to outplay or bluff at some pots. Waiting for premium hands is losing play or you will be run over by aggressive players.Blinds do go up. Play more tight nearer the money. Who is gona limp in with AK on the button anyway. This guy is an idiot.

    yeah that’s what he’s saying. online, you start with 75 BB’s and everybody plays loosepassive. but when you get to like 10,000chips from the 1500 you start out with and the blinds are at 500, everyone plays tight. i can steal blinds and pots and get like 5K in a matter of a very short period of time. but i also try to do it depending on my position and not every time then i dont even create a rep. min. raises blow em off every time too

  • 28 January 20127:23 pm commishguy

    Well, then we agree so I’m not wrong. It depends on your read on the other players of course. In your scenario where everyone is playing tight trying to get in the money then your strategy is solid. But if you’ve got a bunch of good players at the table and the chip lead, or a bunch of aggressive players and a chip lead, you don’t need to slowly donk off your chips by playing mediocre hands, is what I was saying.

  • 28 January 20128:02 pm djax4mvp

    no buddy you’re wrong! im not talking about bluffing to the river im talking about raising 2.5 big blinds in the late position when everyones folded, if they call they have to act first if they check you bet it’s pretty simple especially around bubble time you can see everyone’s very tight. playing tight is terrible, no way of staying level

  • 28 January 20128:33 pm commishguy

    You’re showing your IQ kid by calling names. Different strategies work. Getting a big chip lead and pressuring by going after blinds works but so does playing tight with the big lead.The problem with getting aggressive with a big lead is you risk that lead. U go after the blinds with 10/J and get aggressive with 2 pair and then run into a better 2 pair, all of a sudden U R in the middle of the pack and risk not making the money. Your strategy depends on who else is at the table and your read.

  • 28 January 20128:41 pm djax4mvp

    coast???no my friend! trust me once you get the engine going and you get to like 5000 you can start stealing blinds left and right! no coast that’s the most retarded thing ever

  • 28 January 20129:17 pm obeNNN

    no good bro

  • 28 January 20129:41 pm multiaccounts

  • 28 January 201210:13 pm dadfdfada

    then good luck with that strategy!

  • 28 January 201210:40 pm commishguy

    Playing tight early? Nah. I prefer Negreanu’s “small ball” early. It doesn’t cost that much too see the cards and you could hit something big, then get tight and coast into the money.
