Preflop ranges are naturally wider in PLO than NLHE because equities run closer, hence 40% is not a spectacular percentage of players per flop, it usually indicates that there are two fishes at the table, but one of them will usually be the one who'll give up a seat for you, so you can end up playing with 3-4 regs and 1-2 fishes (that's at PLO50 on iPoker / Stars unless you select tables thoroughly). 40% per flop in PLO is like 20-25% in NLHE in terms of table softness. You'll see more flops together with fish, but don't forget that you'll pay twice more rake in bb/100 and have twice bigger standard deviation than in NLHE with the same blinds.
