Loose play - To play loose means to play a lot of hands, to bet and to call even with weak hands. Loose play is not the best strategy at all. If you choose to play loose, you probably will lose from the tight player. Nevertheless, if all players play tight, you can continue more often with weak hands (steal blinds). But it is wrong to think that if your opponents play loose, you must play tight. Of course, in this case you will make money but you can make much more if with loose opponents you play much more loose than usual. If you know that a loose player always enters the game with a pair of nines, your pair of tens has a very good chance to win. So if you fold everytime with this pair, you are losing a potential profit.
