20 game style
I’ve recently jumped back into the commerce 29 game after being away from it for 8 years (was a regular in the 20 with shots on the 40 in my past life. Ranges from all positions seem to have gotten much laggier. Do I now have to play much looser pre in order to gain the edge I once had as a TAG?

If everyone is playing loose you should be playing tighter in general. But if they’re playing too loose, hands that you might not normally play now become three betting hands in good position. You can also expand hands you open with. Don’t get carried away and start routinely opening with weaker hands in early position. If they’re playing garbage from the blinds you need to be selective opening from the button or HJ.

You should probably three-bet a little more often providing there are not many players still to act. In other spots, it can be correct to play tighter -- you're first in from a steal position and the blinds call a lot of raises.
