Default Tips for Beginner, Games with Flop rate approx 40%

Capelletti, Ciafone and SS2 talk about Loose FLO8 (where 5+ players on average see flop), and TAG games (with about 3 players seeing flop).

But I'm finding games with roughly 38%-45% seeing the flop. It obviously means there's less dead money, and drawing to 1/2 the pot is more break even (if that), than profitable.

Yet at same time, the 2-way hands, which make a weak high and are the TAG FLO8 game preferences, have the problem that a loose player, tends to showdown a decent high, that was marginal on flop. It's very hard to fold them out.

So you're half way between just playing Showdown Nuts poker, and half way between a TAG game where you can make moves.

Is it best to simply avoid these games, or can you exploit the loose players dislike of folding in the long run?
