What's an optimal flop% for this game?

I read somewhere (wish I remembered where) that somewhere between 40-60%. From my experience, 60% would be way to many flops--there just aren't that many premium hands.
I personally find that I am around 35-40%. I tend to play all solid low starting hands, and some high only hands. Of the hands I play, I fold about 90% on the flop, turn, or river--if I don't have a nut, and sometimes if I only have the low nut I fold, especially A2 low nut w/ no high draw (depends on table, limits, and pot odds).

Id like to see where you read between 40 and 60%.
Anyone seeing that many flops is giving me a lot of money if I am at the table.
Your flop % should not be significantly different from Holdem. If I were on the computer with my stats program, I would bring mine up.
I am pretty sure it is around 26%, but on my better sessions it is probably a little bit less. I tend to tilt more in O8 than other games and play worse starting hands.
If you are seeing 40%, you are playing entirely too many hands.

I have been coming to this conclusion myself.
I started tracking the hands I was playing more closely and realized that I was playing a lot of hands with a single dangler. Since eliminating them, I haven't had a chance to collect new stats--but would expect my % to drop significantly.
Thanks for you insight.

Poker Tracker considers a "Good Player" to voluntarily put money into the pot less than 22% of the time. Including "free" flops with the big blind, this means your total flop % should probably be less than 30%

Limit O8?
MY VP$IP for 20/40 limit O8 is 16.
40% is luidicrous.
If you got a free look every single blind 40% would still be ludicrous.
PL tends to play a lot looser most of the time.
Good luck.

Smash,
If you do not mind me asking but what is your BB/100 in the 20/40 game?
