This kind of question gets asked fairly regularly here. Yes, loosen up some, but don't get carried away with it. The game is probably going to play loosely enough that you will have to show down the best hand in order to win. I wouldn't play a gapped straight draw for a full bet (I don't like playing those for the bring-in, frankly), and if I'm playing a small pair for a full bet, I want a nice kicker, say an Ace or a straight flush card.

You might find a site with a saner ante structure, and then you could worry about more important things than adjusting to a poorly thought out ante structure.
