Yeah, I would prefer if the game were looser. The 2/4 game certainly is and I've done really well there over the last few months, but I'm hoping the combination of the slightly better players at 4/8 and tighter average table doesn't kill me. I've tightened up considerably during this transition (I'm about 17% VP$IP online and I would guess about the same at 2/4 -- but since moving up to 4/8 I've been trying to keep my variance low by tightening up even more), but I'm about to start adding these hands that Fnord recommended (at the risk of a bit more variance, I'm sure).
One of the really nice things about a very loose table is that it covers up a few of your mistakes (draws that would be seriously -EV in a tight game can get close to even money in a loose game). And while it sucks to get drawn out on, a lot of times you do the drawing out on people and that's fun.
