The best game to be playing in is loose passive and the worst game to be playing in is tight aggressive but where do loose aggressive and tight passive games rank in the hierarchy of games to play in?

That's not necessarily the case. In a stud game with at least a moderate ante, tight games are often more profitable than loose games. And in no-limit holdem, aggressive games are often more profitable than passive games.

If you're strictly talking limit holdem, tight-passive games are usually better than loose-aggressive, because your variance is a lot lower, and since you generally know where you stand you have a lot more control. Loose-aggressive you win larger pots, but you're bluffed out a lot more, and it costs you a lot more to play in most situations.

Online this is important to consider, since a larger pot size doesn't always mean a more profitable game.
