Quote a Poker authority...

[Semaphore]

These are from an article by a Poker authority:

1. "To decide how tight or loose you should play the game, the primary consideration is the antes and blinds, relative to later bets. The higher the ante and blinds, the looser you play and vice versa."

2. "It is worth loosening up your starting hand requirements. Conversely, if playing with tight players, then when you start with weak hands and marginal hands, there is no point entering the pot, since you know that other players are most likely to be betting and calling only with big hands."

3. "Another consideration is how your opponents act in game play. A common belief is that when your opponents are loose in the game, you should be tight, and vice versa."

I'm trying to read hard into those lines and would like to see your insights on them...

As to Item 1 Is he talking about Stud or No-limit hold'em?

Item 2 and 3 seems like contradicting to me since on the one side, he said you should play loose if opponents play tight.

In general, what does it mean when table is tight, you should play "loose"? By stealing more, or by playing more marginal hands? What else?
