Loose
A style that plays many hands.
In depth
**Loose** in poker refers to a playing style characterized by entering pots with a broad range of starting hands, rather than selectively waiting for strong holdings. This approach increases hand frequency, leading to more postflop situations and wider ranges. It contrasts with tight play, which restricts hand selection, and is independent of betting aggression—players may adopt loose-passive or loose-aggressive strategies. The style emphasizes adaptability in diverse postflop scenarios.
