Hello Guys,

I Started playing these tournaments this weekend and I think they are very profitable. I got in the money in almost all tournaments that I have played, but, Never win any of them, Always I bust out in 5-3 position.

The problem is, the players seem to be all very loose and they all are calling station, they don't give up never. Shoving all in to fold is too risk and you have to do it very tightly. Is very difficult to steal, and your stack starts being very short fast.

How to adjust against these players? Should I stay playing very tightly? How you guys would play at this tournaments?

Any tips would be very helpful.

call less preflop, complete mostly in the BB against minraises as you have great price. you need to start 3bet/shoving lighter for value, check/raising more. Even if someone is loose they will fold 60% of the time to check/raises on flop because they cannot have a pair or a draw more that 35% of the time.

3bet/shoving good spots usually are when you are 20-30bbs effective stacks. Check/raise OOP usually should be around to the size of the pot, and also is a lot more effective when the stacks are 25-40bbs.
