I agree with Mike. Nearly everyone starts out playing too loose, and then they tighten up and do much better. Its funny though, that at least for me, as I've improved more, I've loosened up again on starting hand requirements, and regularly will play hands like 87s, J9s, A2s, JTo, etc., depending on position, if I can see the flop cheaply or am in a good position to be aggressive with them.

But its not recommended for beginners at all, because you have to be extremely willing to let go of top pairs and such when any aggression is shown by others, and you need to pick the right spots to be aggressive yourself, and not just be calling postflop, hoping to hit your draws.
