I don't have tons of experience but I play 25NL at party now. The trend I see is that usually the loose players are the winners. Sure, there will be TAG's picking up a couple big pots here and there, but they also lose the same amount when their KK all in's get beat by AA's. I used to play super tight but found it doesn't really pay off as well. Right now I 3 table and see the flop with about 23-25% of the hands. I think it works better, is more fun, and helps you win more. I haven't nearly mastered it yet, but I'm a winner overall.
