Before I respond, I should note that my experience in small stakes is almost exclusively live games, so if you are referring to online play you should take this with a grain of salt.

I think if you are getting the players on the flop that they assume in the book, you are fine. Usually low limit live games always have the players (the looseness hardly ever dries up, except if you are playing on the days where it seems like they are offering a free Senior Buffet). In low limit you just have to watch the aggressive games. Sometimes a table can shift from passive to aggressive and if you don't react accordingly and very quickly, you could leak some bets. So I would say so long as you aren't in a game that has gone hyper-aggressive, the starting hand requirements are pretty good.

I also like to watch my relative position. So if I have a borderline late position starting hand from SSHE, and the blinds are aggressive players, I might let it go (even though I have position).

But that's just my opinion [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
