My first suggestion would be to play a game that isn't Hold'em. I don't know if you're playing limit or NL, but it's very hard to find limit Hold'em tables with many people taking the flop. I played in a 10-handed $1/2 game the other day and it was folded to the big blind 5 straight hands. Short-handed limit games, on the other hand, are full of maniacs. However, your edge isn't as good in those games because they're actually playing more right there than they would be in a ring game.

You want a high % flop number, but remember that these numbers include the blinds who only pay half a bet or already have the bet in there. You want players cold-calling from middle position. That's what PT will help you find.

The average pot size is more important in NL than limit I think. Limit pots tend to be the same size all the time (5 or 6 big bets). The % flop will usually determine this number anyways.

If you have time to sit around and watch the game before deciding, look for people who overvalue weak hands like middle or top pair.
