if the table is tricky then I'm going to have to buckle down and look at the game more preflop ... so my average % to the flop will be much lower (or rather more tight aggressive play) - because they are going to beat me off every hand preflop or on the flop
rambling now - but I think what I'm getting at is you should play to the table and play to your cards
not a set % which is percieved as being an "ideal" average

That's what I would have said - if Bob hadn't beaten me to it...
