Re: ideal percentage of hands played?
I'm not sure that there is an exact answer. I know Mason has written that the best players play about 15% of their hands. I think this is probably correct for tough games where there is a lot of raising before the flop. Based on a large database of online game (2/4 through 5/10) the best players seem to see the flop between 21-25% of the time. Note that someone seeing the flop 21 or 22 % is voluntarily putting money into the pot about 15% of the time.
