You need an edge to play successfully at any table. Normal edges include position, better starting hands and being a better player. In order to play worse cards successfully (45s, etc) you need a different edge (i.e. position). These hands can be wicked profitable, but they're also far more difficult to play. Until you've proven to yourself that you're a winner, stay away.

Edit: In REALLY loose, passive games these are good cards to play. i.e. when 2/3 of the table limps in on most pots.
