Over the last two weeks we have looked at adjusting your game to tight tables, this week we look at changing your play against loose players in tournaments.

Stack sizes play a vital role in No Limit Hold' Em due to implied odds and you should adapt your tactics according to your stack size.

Again we are generally talking about pre-flop play.

Firstly we look at how to act with three different stack sizes at loose tables when nobody has yet bet pre-flop.

1) With a small stack less than 50 times the big blind, it is vital you push when you sense you have an advantage. Against loose players willing to call almost anything, Aces and Kings and most pairs are good as you aren't so intimidated at getting called by a loose player when you push such hands.

2) An average size stack around 50 to 150 times the big blind is a danger time against loose players in a tournament. You would ideally like to be stealing the blinds but that is much harder at a loose table so you need to play a tight-aggressive game with good Aces and Kings hands plus good pairs and try to build your stack.

3) With a deep stack over 150 times the big blind, this is a great opportunity to play loose and see a lot of flops with the hope of catching a big flop and doubling or even tripling your stack. If the table is allowing you to limp, then you should get involved especially in position.

Now we look at how to act with three different stack sizes at loose tables with a raised pot.

1) With a small stack less than 50 times the big blind, you are unable to call as much so often it's a case of going All-In or folding. If you feel your hand is a favourite over a loose raiser and the odds justify it, then push.

2) With an average size stack around 50 to 150 times the big blind, you can start calling with some hands. In tournaments you have to win pots and having position on a loose raiser is often a good time to claim these.

3) With a deep stack over 150 times the big blind, call with hands you feel are a very solid favourite. Your position will help and again having position against a loose player is a good opportunity to do that. This is also an ideal chance to call with all pairs as there is the chance to hit a set and double up.
