In loose games, it is common for weak players to play "any ace" - a derisive term used by tight players . Any ace means playing suited and unsuited aces from many positions relative to the button. High cards are valuable in hold 'em, but it matters if your cards are suited A♣-5♣ or unsuited A♥-6♠.
In preparation to playing more in the 5-10¢ limit games, it is quite a change to play different starting hands such as ace offsuits a bit more frequently.
Playing aggressive is recommended but it doesn't seem necesary because many games are aggressive or quickly becomes aggressive once a player or two becomes aggressive and create a domino effect. Another progression in almost all games is that they become tighter and aggressive. Perhaps it is because the players came to their senses and played tighter or because the game was just loose temporarily. Keeping a game not so aggressive allows playing speculative hands for just one bet, and in an aggressive game it is too costly to play these speculative hands like J8 suited and 54 suited for two or three bets.
