I've noticed that in some games people tend to play much tighter in time pots (even the fish) that it might be more profitable to loosen up as, in general, the blinds will be more inclined to fold preflop or on the flop and you can win a fair number of small pots.

The blinds of course should tighten up. Therefore, most players react by stealing more. So you're screwed twice over if you're the BB -- there are more steals attempted against your blind, and you're getting worse odds to play against a steal.

The worst situation of all comes when you're in the big blind, and there's a couple people in LP who are new at the table and therefore not eligible to pay the time pot. So they're raising very very loosely, and you're [censored].
