John,

I haven't played 2/4 in a few months but I don't remember it as you described it. The evening (EST) games were usually loose passive pre-flop but tight post flop.

Regardless, I think in any tight passive game you can open raise more but make sure you have high card power behind you. Suited aces are more valuable because of the showdown benefit of the A, but you'll have to forget about the little pairs and especially the suited connectors (I love the suited connectors). Stealing the blinds twice an hour can be all the profit you need. Post flop you can get away with ABC play I think. As you mentioned, they will call you down with any pair, so value bet when you hit, but forget about bluffing when you don't unless you think your unimproved A is still good.
