Welcome.
That's how things have been lately. I prefer tables where 25-35% of players see flop. This translates into VP$IPs between about 24-30%. It's a matter of personal preference and it's a matter of what plays into your style.
Loose players drive me nuts because they're tougher for me to read. I'd rather play a tighter table where I can hone a read in on a player.
It's all preference.
