Which book?

Loose and tight are relative terms, so people will have a hard time answering this out of context. Consider Small Stakes Holdem's hand ranges. Playing looser than those is often correct, but playing 50% of your hands is clearly wrong.

Can you post some examples? Just think that tight is correct, but the better you get, the more hands you play. However, the great limit experts still play 'tight' in the sense of only playing hands that they can extract value from. J9o in early position is not such a hand in a full ring game.
