Default Beating Tight Games

Most begginners figure out that they can win in mirco fixed limits by playing very tight poker and without bluffing. This is very easy ánd it works. However when going up in limits this seems to be clear to everyone else so things are slighlt complicated. What hands should be reiase preflop? Should on try to limp with more hands and play tighter post-flop, or tighten up pre-flop. Also making occasional plays such as check-raise bluff against one opponent. Discarding suited connectors and small pairs? In other words how do you go about beating tight games?

To beat tight players, you play very loose. Exactly how you do that depends on the type of tight players. For example, if they only play top hands, you want to play almost any low card hand. If the flop comes down with high cards, you fold, if not you raise.

If they are tight-aggressive then you should play fewer hands, but raise big when you do play. Position is very important with tight-aggressive players.

Check-raising is not effective against tight-aggressive players; raise/fold to a reraise is better.

i'm playing tag style at low limits and i think it's very easy to exploit.
for limit i guess there are 3 major things you should consider:
a) get to know the handranges of your opponents
b) study his headsup betting patterns and tendencies
c) donkbet flops tag has potentially missed
