I adapt to the situation at hand.  For example, if the table is tight and players are overfolding, I'd open more frequently.  Conversely, if it's a loose table, I'll narrow my range so that I can exploit people playing marginal holdings.

I experienced the former situation in a PLO tournament recently that I won.  It was a PKO and we got down to the final four players, and I had just doubled up against the tournament chip leader to become the overwhelming chip leader.  Once that point hit, I was opening up probably 80% of my hands because they just folded and I could pick up easy chips.  If they 3bet me, I'd just fold if I had nothing, but I was still accumulating chips.

I had the good fortune of hitting some real good hands, even with those marginal holdings because even had I lost a hand, I still had an overwhelming chip lead.  Also, because of the money jumps, I used ICM to my advantage.  Luckily I was able to knock out the last three players fairly quickly and won the tournament.  *** IMPORTANT - I ran REALLY well too which always helps. ***

I experienced the latter when I was playing for a satellite ticket, where I was in a spot where my ticket was pretty much secured, so I was folding everything.  I even folded Kings pre-flop one hand, and Jacks in another.

It's all about adjusting to the game conditions you're facing at the time, which was mentioned by skalibur, lukovnikofff, takinitSLEAZEE, and marvinsytan.
