I disagree with this.

When everyone is loose you should play slightly looser than usual with made hands, but much tighter with bluffs. Hands like AT go up in value when you are going to be called down by A2 (especially if they are passive and will let you get a cheap showdown when you are behind).

When everyone is tight you need to play much tighter with made hands. AT wont cut it on an A high flop if you are getting called down. You can be alot looser with bluffs now though since people are way more likely to fold even moderatly strong hands.

As for stats wise I think the best way to start is AJ-AK, and all PPs from all positions. Throw in some limped connecters, suited aces and KQ from late position. Once you get good at those you can open up.
