Extremely loose tables

[aytopper]

Normally, I play cash games and every once in a while I will play a tournament because I just don't like them. Today, I get into a tournament and there is about 4-5 people in the pot every hand. Seems impossible to try and steal the blinds and just a waste of chips. A raise doesn't scare off anyone.

Example:

4 limpers, then a raise of 9xBB and every limper calls.

So I figure the best way to play would be to just sit back and wait for a hand, well that didn't work out too well as I didn't get a playable hand. At the end of the tournament(well for me atleast) I have an M of about 6. Get ATs and go all in(first in the pot). Btw, I've only played about 6 hands the whole tournament. I get 6 callers and bust out.

My main question is should I loosen up and play their game? Or is playing tight the right way in this case? Thanks.

Don't forget to see a lot of flops cheaply with pps, scs and suited gappers when the blinds are still low.

By tournament do you mean freeroll? I have never see action late like that late, even at a $1 tournament.

No freeroll. It was a $3 - 1000+ person at Party. Like I said I don't like tournaments much hence the small buy-in.
