every article I read and every person tells me this but could someone please give some kind of explanation for this?

I mean I feel like if I play on too loose tables, yeah sure I might win some big pots but since i'm so inexperienced I'll prolly lose more big pots whilst if I play tight then normally my decisions are generally correct and the risk to lose my buy-inis nowhere near as much.

I can understand your advice on not playing short-stacked under 200 NL though, thx for confirming that, but could someone explain this loose table thing?

BTW, at stars on micro stakes the lowest plyr/flop percentage is around 30 and the highest is around 60, anything above or under that percentile are big exceptions and I like playing at a table with around 35% plyrs/flop and a middle sized pot at full ring tables at NL. I consider 35% quite more tight since at stars that's what the tables are like, am I correct in assumig that this is tight or is it in fact kinda loose????
