Default Re: \"loose\" play and variance

I think you cannot simply say which style is better, loose or tight. If you play really loose, you need to have a very deep understanding of the game + player reads, because you though you have more +ev opportunities, you have more opportunities to make blatant errors too. I personally prefer a more tight style, since with a loose style the variance will be alot higher, and nobody can play his perfect game on a very very big downswing, which takes away some +EV. On the other hand I dont believe that you start playing better when winning very very big, I personally tend to play a bit weaker too. So a constant win seems to be best for me --> Tight
