All kidding aside, I do consider myself to be a tight player. I think I make more laydowns than the average player. I’m able to change it up fairly well, but I need to improve on my timing.

Honestly, I’m not sure what preference I have for a table. I’d probably lean towards tight actually. Sometimes I’m patient to a fault, and without cards to play, I get into trouble when I wait too long to build my stack (I’m thinking MTT terms here only).

Curious to know how you plan on making these adjustments.

Naturally, most people think tight players prefer a loose table and loose players prefer a tight one, and I think there is a lot to that, generally. Certainly, your style and table preference matches up. I think I'm a bit of a wildcard in that scenario because I prefer a passive loose table. I don't mind preflop calls or limps, but I need folders post flop. I love this freaking game, because there are so many layers of information and factors that go into everything! Thanks again.

I enjoyed the post, and really like the question posed. Personally, I would describe my style as tight/patient, while still appropriately aggressive. I believe I play much fewer pots than most, but am good at being able to identify when ahead or behind and act accordingly. Given my understanding of my "style," I think the best table conditions for me are the real loose tables with lots of limpers/bluffers. I never cease to be amazed by how often I'm able to buy five big blinds with a value raise of AceJackoff from the button, given my TIGHT table impression. This strategy seems to work consistently for me in MTTs and SnGs (yet I'm a consistent cash game loser!) Many choose to fault my tight approach, providing evidence of often winning SMALL pots with monster hands. But, I choose to be happy everytime my KK wins pre-flop, as I too often see big pairs losing to AceRag. ... However, all this being said about 'my' style and the best tables for this style, it still needs to be said that one's play should always match the table. And all good players need to change it up. I just REALLY prefer the "crazy" tables with loose players, and lots of limpers... allows me to play what I like to call "my game." ...
