Should I let loose players run all over me?

In tourneys, I find that one of my biggest problems is not believing someone really has a decent hand when they've been really loose and aggressive. This is where I lose my biggest pots, cause they end up having close to the nuts when I decide to test them by betting into them or calling, raising, or re-raising.
Would I be better off just treating them all as if they were tight players?

This is where its important to figure in ranges. If you feel a person is taking advantage of you by raising alot preflop, Id 3 bet them given you probably have tight table image.
Dont be afraid to 3 bet shove with AK, your gonna have to win some coinflips most of the time to win some tourneys.

This is why so many good tournament players are LAG. There are definite some good TAG players, but a lot of the young, emerging MTT studs are LAG players who do this all tournament long.

better to tighten up your preflop range and let the loose player 'run over you' by surrendering your blinds than giving up on money you voluntarily put into the pot tryin to make a hand against these people
