I posted this earlier in the Starting Hand thread but by then it was quite buried. From what I've read and what I've experienced so far in the low limit realm, I'd say the following:

Typical Loose Passive Game w/5 or more callers PF
Increase in Value:
Suited Connectors
Small Pairs
A-xs
K-xs
Decrease in Value
KQo, KJo, QJo
Semi big pairs (QQ, JJ, TT - not junk by any means but not as premium as they would be in a tighter game)

Loose Aggressive
Similar to the above but a bit tighter (bag less than J 1+ suited gappers)
Small pairs late only

Tight Passive - 3 or fewer callers (is there such a thing LL?)
Increase in Value:
Big pairs
Big cards (AQ, KQ)
Decrease in Value:
Hands that need to be made

Tight Aggressive
Same as above even more so


I know there are positional factors, individual player types and predictability considerations that can enter into the decision process but in general, would you guys agree on the above?
