You would want the view flop percentage to be at least 35. When it is you will have a good chance of making some money. When the average view flop percentage is high, the game is normally favorable.

When the average pot size is large you will obviously have a good chance of winning big. You would want the average pot size to be 12 times the big bet or larger. When this is the case the game is loose and that's exactly what you want.
Remember that the structure of online games change rapidly. Players switch tables all the time and as a result a good game can turn bad in a matter of minutes. Always keep track of what kind of players you're up against.
Live games - gather the information yourself.
You should always try to find players that you will be able to outplay. If you observe a weak player at a table you should try to be seated to the left of him. From that position you will be able to take maximum advantage of his mistakes, which are bound to come (naturally, you should also look for weak players when you're playing online). When you're up against tight players you should, if it's possible, sit to the right of them. That will give you good opportunities to steal blinds and win pots through bluffing.
When you're playing live there is no lobby that will provide you with the needed statistics. Instead you have to observe the game yourself and then decide if you want to play or not. This type of game evaluation is obviously more time demanding and difficult than the one you do in online games.
