I guess this is the sort of analysis I was looking for and why.

Usually you want more players seeing the flop than less as that would indicate a looser table which is typically more profitable. After that, pot size because of profitability. You need to determine what the ideal border line here is though. With 50% seeing the flop but only a $3 average pot size, is probably not good. While 35% seeing the flop and $15 average pot size is probably better. Be forwarned that these are only the basic guidelines on where to start. Once you get to the table, you will have a better read on folks. Just play typical new table poker and play rock tight for the first few rounds to watch and collect info on folks.
