In many Medium Stakes SnGs, players no longer play loose but weak-tight, at least as soon as the number of participants drops below 6. The optimal way to take advantage of this is to use the loose-aggressive approach.

The basic idea in this approach is: You attack many small pots with a good risk-reward ratio and stay away from resistance and big pots. As weak-tight bubbles usually take quite some time, it's not enough to always steal the blinds with the same move. Instead you should have a sizable repertoire of blind steals to make it as difficult as possible for the opponents to adapt their strategies.

This article lists up the different kinds of these steals and explains when and how to use them.
