Tight play at the beginning is a great strategy...gives you a feel for whats going on at the table without risking too much. But if you go through a few rounds and find that everyone is playing conservative, you could find yourself missing out on pots you could have won. Like said before, position is a great factor. My best advice is to play the opposite of how the majority of the players at the table are playing. Follow through with your aggression as well. You raise preflop, give the pot a good half pot - pot sized bet when the flop comes. Good players will fold if they don't have anything most of the time. Remember, you can't lose if you don't get called, and know your players!
