Maybe you should write a book "Poker for Beginners"

I hope to be at the same table as you, because then I'll have a good hand knowing that you're betting everything.

No. But there are a number of hands that are unlikely to take your opponent's chips without the luck factor. It is possible to play several hands in a row if the games are good.

Exactly. And because they win some chips or doubles, they think that this type of game is correct but not very profitable in the long run.

I don't have that kind of skill. I would like to, but I can't.Talvez você devesse escrever um livro "Poker para iniciantes"

In this case, it is common in fast games to bet too much all-in.

Sometimes I play a lot of hands for fun ))
But if things are going well in a tournament, then I always start playing very carefully!
Here, for example, is how I played at the beginning of this tournament )))
Preflop all-ins
But after these hands I began to play very thoughtfully and carefully!

In that case, you must play a lot of games thinking about doubling, and if you manage to double in one, then you start playing for real. I see that a lot, especially on 888pokerÀs vezes jogo muitas mãos por diversão ))
Mas se as coisas estão indo bem em um torneio, então eu sempre começo a jogar com muito cuidado!
Aqui, por exemplo, está como eu joguei no início deste torneio )))
All-ins pré-flop
Mas depois dessas mãos comecei a jogar com muito cuidado e reflexão!

Yes this is obviously the foundation of winning poker, and the most typical definition of a "fish" is someone with a much to high VPIP. And this is because, if your range is to wide preflop, this carry over to postflop, and you either end up folding to much, bluffing to much or getting to showdown with a weak range, that will lose to often. And you also create more reverse implied odds, where for instance you flop top pair, but someone else have you outkicked.
But it is a bit more complicated than that, since ranges are dependent on your position and previous action. For instance you are actually supposed to defend anything but offsuit junk, if you are in the big blind and face a small raise from late position in a game with antes, as will often happen in tournaments. And if you dont do that, this is also a problem, because then you will tend to get blinded away. So instead of "play tight" I would say, that the advice is to learn GTO ranges preflop, and then stick to them, unless you have a good reason to deviate.
But I will admit that for beginners it is generally worse to be opening hands like J4s from UTG than to fold them in BB facing a min-raise. So maybe I can go as far as to suggest learning to play tight first, and then open your range up again later, when you have more experience postflop. This keep your decisions more simple and reduce the risk of making expensive postflop mistakes.
